Copper Tub…Copy Cat Challenge #3

Happy Halloween Everybody!  Hope you all had a fa-boo-lous weekend. 

Debbie at Debbiedoo’s is having her 3rd Magazine Copy Cat Challenge  and I thought I would join in for my 2nd time.  My inspiration for this challenge came from the 2011 Fall catalogue of Through The Country Door.   I love this catalogue. It is full of all kinds of ideas and inspirations.

One of many things that I liked in their catalogue were the copper tubs they have.   

BUT at $129.99 I thought I would make my own cooper tub especially since I already had a tub stashed in my shed.

I spray painted the galvanized tub black and then painted it with Folk Art Metallic Antique Copper paint.  Here is my copper tub filled to the rim with fall.   

I only applied one coat of the Metallic Antique Copper paint because I really liked how a little of the black was showing through.   

 

I love the look of the copper tub when the sun is shining through the door. 

I filled the copper tub with fall things that I had left-over except for the corn which I purchased about a month or so ago. 

  I’m really happy with how my copper tub turned out and I love my price even more…..nothing because I had everything already! 

Thanks Debbie for being the gracious host you are! 

As always, thanks for stopping by.  I do appreciate all my followers and I always love your comments.
