I bought this pot holder in a sale at the weekend.
I thought of decorating it myself.
Any inspirational idea's would be most welcome.
Happy WOYWW Day

Awesome pot holder. Here in the states the antique folks cringe at doing anything but oiling it up and buffing it. If it is rough I would see about sanding it down and using it for bulkier items. Thanks for sharing. Vickie #49
ReplyDeleteLove that pot holder. I would rub it down and treat the wood with something that allows it to breathe, then use it to display rolls of pretty ribbon, or something else pretty and colourful.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely message on my blog this week.
Ooh Sheilagh how lovely is that. Will it stay a pot holder? If not I would gloss it white, invite inside and smother it in pretties, and maybe the odd plant!
ReplyDeleteGood to see your scrapbook pages - all your lovelies - they make wonderful pages.
How lovely is that pot holder, its gorgeous! I look forweard to seeing what you decide to do with it, so many fantastic options :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great WOYWW,

I've never seen one of those, so I have no idea. Can't wait to see how you transform it.
ReplyDeleteThe pot holder looks fab I guess it depends what you want to use it for it would look great with lots of crafty stash / pots of pens and brushes or pots of plants
ReplyDeleteLooks to me like it would be ideal for storing crafty stuff !
ReplyDeleteI think I'd agree with Jude on how to decorate it.

Super cute, I have allergies, no plants for me. I am with Julia, if mine it would become something for my scrap goodies...lol
ReplyDeleteThanks for the peek and sharing. Have a great WOYWW.

lush pot holder, buy some of those new distress stains and distress it to within an inch of its life and you could put crafty things on it like stamps and small equipment
ReplyDeleteVery cool pot holder. You could do so much with it, however I have no clue wat to suggest. Great recent layouts too.
ReplyDeleteFantastic potholder. Lime wash and use in your craftroom, a thing of beauty and function!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW
Great piece Sheilagh! O the potential...decisions, decisions...I'm enjoying so many of the stamps and stencils I see these days and would probably go somewhere in that direction if you decide it's an outside piece...or there's always mosaic;)
ReplyDeleteI agree with all of the above; distress; limewash; pots of pens etc etc
ReplyDeleteIts is lovely and i can't wait to see what you do with it..xx
Wow love the pot holder. I'd use it in craft room. Maybe sand it and paint it with some light paint?
