Not thinking mom would try to wrestle with another real tree again, I took her array of tree stands to donation. Then–Surprise!
Hey, let’s put up a real tree for the kids this year! Uhh-boy.
You know what they say about necessity! I pulled this garden urn from storage–but needed to alter it to make it work (I was always intending to re-finish it anyway).
A simple–but messy–project of painting and waxing! Et, voilà!
—I wasn’t trying to fully cover it with paint, I wanted the pits and crevices of it to add “age” and depth, and some dark wax for that final finish!
With a bucket for water, the tree is set for the season!
