Bicycle Basket Re-Do

I recently purchased this plain, simple wicker bicycle basket for $25 at Kmart, but it was just too plain...so this weekend I  finally got around to making it beach chic.  I painted the entire basket with white gesso, added the linen basket liner, glued on shell buttons and some scraps of old lace trim I had. I then glued the tin heart with a hot glue gun and decoupaged the collage on the heart and sealed the entire piece. Now I need to find the perfect bike....

Trash to Treasure

I finally got around to refinishing this cute, little french table/cabinet I found discarded on the side of the road. I think the impending move has me motivated to finish up some projects. What once was a piece of trash is now my fancy, "new," french cabinet ala Florida Beach Chic!
