Here it is.This started out looking like this.
Not my style.But the price was right! I would love to have an authentic chippy old one.But this will do.It is old.But I needed to make it more my style.
I had some left over paint from another project.I did not create any chalk paint.It is just regular old flat latex paint.After painting it I sanded it down.This was already rusty so the paint brought it out even more!
Hydrangea’s fresh from my garden.The only thing blooming right now.
This sanded down nicely.Love the worn look.Almost looks authentic.
I love this look in my kitchen.
And it was super easy to do!
I love these hydrangea’s in my French pitcher too.
I also added some to my blue mason jars!
Looking forward to our concert tomorrow.We are taking my daughter to see Coldplay.Can’t wait!!!!

Love it Anne! I’m going to spend more time, catching up with all my favorite blogs! You’ve got some lovely things going on that I’ve missed! How is your vintage space doing these days?
Pam says
That is one great transformation. I bought a turquoise one a few months ago, but I think I like it in white better. Might have to get out the paint now.
cathywhatisoldisnew says
I love it and now will be on the hunt for one to transform thanks to your inspiration! It turned out great and you will be able to switch it out easily for seasonal displays as well.
Angie says
Love, love, love it, Anne! And I think it looks just as wonderful as a really old one! I hope you plan to share it at Knick of Time Tuesday today. :0)
Blessings,

Love what you did to the ice cream bucket! I love the white on white color combo you have, it’s so simple and fresh. The blue mason jars look perfect for a splash of color.

Susan says
Perfect! It looks like it was truly originally white. What a neat find, and tranformation. My hubby often reminisces about old ice cream makers and wishes he had one. Yours is really ‘cool’!
andrea@townandprairie says
This white vignette is so crisp and fresh! Your bucket came out really cute.

Vickie @ Ranger 911 says
Love it in white! I’ve got 2 old ice cream makers, one blue and one green, and you’re right, they are pricey! Fabulous makeover!

Awesome….love the white and oh, my gosh those hydrangeas…to die for!! Can’t seem to grow them here…darn….I remember seeing them in Seattle when I grew up..I loved them, even then.

lynn says
oh, it turned out lovely, anne:) i love how the label looks painted, too! have fun at the concert!
Kelly says
That was a great idea to paint one that doesn’t have the color you wanted. It looks authentically old that way too! It makes a pretty container for fresh flowers. I bet that concert was GREAT!
Kathryn Ferguson Griffin says

Would love it if you would share this at my Make it Pretty Monday party at The Dedicated House. http://thededicatedhouse.blogspot.com/2012/08/make-it-pretty-monday-week-9.html Hope to see you at the bash!

Well, goofy me, I just gave one of those away, and I could have painted it. Duh!! Yours looks lovely and great eye to see the potential.
Lorrie says
Love your ice cream maker, make-over! I just did a copy cat of one, I think now I may need to paint mine…
awal.ny says
I love seeing what paint can do to transform something ordinary to something we love to put in our homes. The green and white just look perfect.
Lynda @ Happenstance Home says
I think this turned out beautifully! So pretty, and a great idea!
