Painted Milk Churn

I love vintage stuff and the milk churn is one of them. I bought two - a big one and a smaller one from a car-boot sale (flea market), so I decided to paint the smaller one first. I treated the original milk churn with a primer and a base coat. Then I painted a farmyard scene on it. I then gave it a coat of clear varnish.

Painted milk churns can double up as umbrella holders. You can also put a lovely pot of flowers on top. Or they can be left as they are in a corner. Great conversation piece!
