Easy Fall Vintage Junk Decorating
October 05, 2013
A shopping trip to my local thrifting and consignment shops this week produced the ingredients to this easy, vintage junk vignette recipe.
Ingredient number one was this vintage fall paint by number scene for $6. I loved its vibrant color.
Ingredient number two was the very rustic, chippy little bench or stool. A steal at $2.
Ingredient number three was an old beat up tool box for $4.50.
The next step was cutting the paint by number to fit the underside of the tool box lid. I ended up cutting some of bottom of the painting but the sides fit almost perfectly. I did not glue or tape it in. It fits in snugly.
Then I added ingredients four and five, gourds and raffia.
I stacked my new bench on top of a bench that I already had, and set up the display in my main floor vintage laundry room.
That's how easy it is to decorate for fall with vintage items!

ReplyDelete...I have a fond place in my heart for paint by numbers paintings...I remember my Mom and Dad doing one or two of them...I see them all of the time while setting up estate sales...How creative of you to have come up with this design...so many of these, like so much other vintage kitsch get left by the wayside...
ReplyDeleteI would have bought that stool....I love them! Your display is darling...really, we do decorate similarly!
ReplyDeleteThat was a great idea putting the painting in the top... it is such a beautiful decoration!

Oh, I love the paint by number! It fits the box perfectly, so it was meant to be. The little pumpkins round out the vignette, and the bench was a steal at only $2!! So cute!
ReplyDeleteSuch vibrant and beautiful colors!

I love that fall painting and would have snapped it up in a moment! I doubt that I would have displayed it as beautifully as you did though!
ReplyDeleteCUTE!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love how you combined those things to create this cute fall look.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a cute idea! Love it! Hugs, Leena
ReplyDeleteI love the colors and textures, my favorite is putting the colorful painting in the back of the chest. Alaina
ReplyDeleteYou are just so clever Carlene. Putting that painting inside the lid was very smart and it made a perfect Fall decoration. Now everyone, including this blogger, will be looking for PBN painting and a rusty tool box. I likely have the rusty tool box, so half-way there.
