You know what makes my day?  Besides greeting smiling faces at the door after a long school day?

Getting stuck into some DecoArt Chalky Finish Paint.  It’s me-time sqaured and rounded to the nearest tenth.

This morning I was hankering to put my mark on something and I realized that these three crates which house my apples, onions and potatoes were SUPER DUPER boring.

Blah-zay.

And you know we just can’t have there here over at The Bold Abode. Chalky Finish Paint to the rescue, baby. This particular day, I was feeling a bit angle-y.

How to Make DIY Chalky Finish Crates

First, draw your pattern.

Then tape it off accordingly. {As opposed to accordianly…it might sound fun, but I think that could get a bit messy.}

I chose to use two Chalky Finish colors, Legacy {the blue}  and Yesteryear {the light gray}.

I must have been feeling a bit nostalgic.

When you are done painting, pull up the tape while it’s still wet.

Repeat for the contrasting color.

The new {bolded-up} crates are a fun addition to my otherwise traditional kitchen.

I love these little crates. And I love how a simple update can really add a pop of color into your life!
