Dog Biscuit Can Turned Chic Farmhouse Decorative Can
This dog biscuit tin can was such a score! I love the size and that it has a lid!
I cleaned it very well and spray painted it with Rustoleum White Spray Paint.
After it was fully dry, I took a parchment paper rub-on transfer from Dollar Tree that had a beautiful script style design and rubbed it on the front of the container.
Here’s the end result!

Glass Jar Upcycled Into Farmhouse Beauty
This jar is absolutely beautiful! It had a gorgeous yellow color. However, I wanted to give it a more neutral farmhouse look.
I cleaned it very well and spray painted it with Rustoleum White spray Paint.
Once dry, I used a different parchment paper rub-on transfer from Dollar Tree with a bee design and rubbed it on the front.
I didn’t do anything to the cap, as it had a beautiful wood tone that complimented the new white look perfectly!
Here’s the end result!

Traditional Farmhouse Milk Can Upcycle
This milk can was another one I was super excited about! It was so cute, but definitely not my style.
I wiped it well and spray painted it white with Rustoleum Spray Paint.
I let it dry and added another parchment paper rub-on transfer with a script design from Dollar Tree. I placed it in the front, and that’s it!
Such an easy flip! Here’s the end result!

Blue Water Pitcher Makeover
This water pitcher was so beautiful! The shape and quality were amazing. I wasn’t a fan of the color, so I knew I wanted to paint it. But I also wanted to add more texture.
I took caulk from Dollar Tree and applied it liberally all over the surface of the pitcher. I used gloves and made sure to apply it in a sideway motion.
I let it dry and then painted it white with Waverly Chalk Paint in the white color.
The caulk allowed the paint to crackle a bit, giving it even more texture and charater.
Here’s the end result! What do you think?
