Years ago I bought this cute and functional nut bowl, completely made of acacia wood, nicely varnished and we used it for years, it’s been on our patio table at all our informal weekend friends gathering, when we got an indoor dinning table it became a centrepiece on which I put a candle, my daughter has played with it, the monsoon has made it crack in one place, it has relocated 3 times across the country, and after 5 year you can just imagine that it was a bit worn out.
I’ve been toying with simply giving it to my maid and getting a new one, but I love that darn silly nut bowl of mine, so inspired by the holidays I gave it a little paint job to revive it:
The edges and outside of the bowl were the worst hit, the varnish there had completely come off, and I only wish I had a clear picture of how battered it looked before to share.
What I did is fairly simple, I just took some silver acrylic paint and painted the top edges and outside to cover the years of tear and wear, and left the inside of each compartment in it’s original treatment so that we can still use it for food stuff and can still wipe it clean with a damp cloth it still sits on my dinning table, without a candle as I haven’t replaced the last one that was in there and got damaged by my daughter.
