Way back many years ago cows were famous to decorate , my aunt and I had them all over the place now its become popular presented as farmhouse style and you'll note I used the word style because you do not need a real Farm house to carry this décor out, its pretty anywhere you live! Anyway if you have some that your pulling out of storage a nice way to give them a better look is to white wash them as I have done here. Just a tad of white paint and a splash of water mixed a just apply to the piece or not its what ever you like.
I love a nice full rag garland it really put the icing on the cake so to speak it finishes the farm house touch. I used these two materials and a bit of lace from my grams tablecloth .
I crafted a cow crossing sign and also placed a rolled up vintage doily my gram made over 100 years ago inside the cow.
Painted a canning jar pink to bring out the pink cheeks on the ceramic cow
I took an old book and white washed it and labeled it to go with the theme. I found the old milk bottle at Goodwill.
You can do this with anything like a rooster collection, dishes anything you can group and add some interest to.
So will you be dedicating a shelf to one of your collections? Its a great way to show off what you love and make yourself happy! Have fun with it is what I always say.........
