Call me crazy, but I have always thought old whisk brooms were the neatest thing. I would fight with my brother to use the whisk broom and dust pan at Grandmom's house. I love the texture and was inspired to alter one or two.
Lately, I've been seeing these used more and more in farmhouse and cottage decor. They look great hanging on a wall in the kitchen or sitting on a shelf. They making unique groupings too. As for me, I enjoyed altering one with this very appropriate soap advertisement found over at The Graphics Fairy. Look for this in my shop next week. Thanks, Karen, for sharing such great inspiration with us! Linking up to Brag Monday! p.s. - Don't forget that April is giveaway month at Rusty Rooster Vintage. If you are visiting for the first time, please give a follow and join us for the fun! There will be a giveaway each week with a fun theme. Have a great week! xoxo
I love whisk brooms too! Yours is adorable, Vicki!

How fun to alter a whisk broom. I have always loved the hard-worked-well-worn whisk brooms. Now it is an amazing decor art piece. Fabulous...
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I have one of these! (although mine is darker) but I never thought to decorate it! Thanks for that! If I get around to decorating it, Ill post and let everyone know where my inspiration came from! :)

You can come to my house--living on the corner of two gravel roads I have plenty of stuff to push around with a wisk broom.

Creative and cozy with a touch of whimsy...I like how you went "out of the box" with this project.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute. I saw a prim artist do a whisk broom that was obviously very prim, but this is adorable.
ReplyDeleteI love what you did Vicki! Love the graphic you chose, it looks so pretty!! You are right, the whisk brooms look beautiful as decor! Love the texture and the look of them. :)
ReplyDeleteVicki,

Great idea, would love to make something similar for our cottage. Have to say though, that I haven't seen little brooms like that for many years, so it could be tricky.
