Little Fern Gets a Makeover!

I came across this little lovely a few days ago when I stopped by Hancock’s of all places.

This little fern caught my eye, then its little tag made me smile, 80% off. I had been looking for something to add color to my kitchen for a bit.

The only thing that I was not to fond of was the bright green leaves and stark white urn.

So I got the bright idea to distress it using this.

On a side note please cover your granite kitchen tops before starting this project.

I took two paper towels and dabbed the stain all over the leaves and then rubbed it on the urn, just enough to tone down the really store bought look.

And it worked like a charm. Not shabby for $3.99!
