Roo Gets a New Doo and an Old Grain Scoop

Before I show you my roo’s new doo, I would like to thank all of you   for the sweet birthday wishes the other day.   It truly touched my heart! 

This Mr. Roo has been in my kitchen for a few years.  I really didn’t want to part with him but he didn’t quite fit in anymore.  So out to the garage he went for a make-over.

A can of Rust-Oleum textured spray paint, antique white and metallic antique copper paint and a little Annie Sloan dark wax was all that was needed for his make-over.  He is now back in the kitchen sporting his new doo.

I think he turned out right cute!

  I’m so happy he’s back in my kitchen……I love my roos!

While we’re in the kitchen, I want to share with you an old grain scoop I found over the weekend.

I loved the wood with the old galvanized metal.  When I bought it I wasn’t quite sure what I was going to do with it but I found a perfect spot for it in the kitchen.

What do you think?  Did I find the perfect spot for it?

As always, thanks for stopping by and hope you all have a wonderful day! 

Gail
