Large Farmhouse Metal Basket

Thanks for Sharing!

I turned a $2 basket into this Large Farmhouse Metal Basket. I went thrifting with my youngest daughter a couple of weeks ago at a large thrift clearance center. We were on our way to check out when I came across this large metal basket. It was marked for only $4, which I thought was a great price, but it was 50% home decor day, so I scored it for only $2! It is a metal basket, but the metal was starting to tarnish, so I figured some spray paint and some wood would turn this into a gorgeous farmhouse basket perfect for my fireplace hearth.

Here’s the basket I start with. It was in great shape, just needed a little help with an update.

Farmhouse Metal Basket Supplies

Here are the supplies I used to update this beauty. (affiliate links provided for your convenience)

• Fusion Matte Black Spray Paint
• 15″ Round Wood

I gave the metal basket two light coats of matte black spray paint and let it dry thoroughly.

Then it was time to insert the wood round. I found one that perfectly fit my basket, making this makeover SO simple… no power tools this time!

For now, I’m going to keep the natural wood, but I might eventually stain it with Kona, my favorite dark stain that I used on my fireplace mantel.

Then was time for fluffing… adding the pretties to my new to me Farmhouse Basket.

A cute blanket and fall Gather pillow for the basket was all it needed. The first bit of fall in my home.
