How to Decorate a Vintage Sled for Christmas
One day last summer my daughter walked
up to the house pulling a sled.
I've taught them well... picking out of the garbage is not always a bad thing.

As you may have seen already, this Christmas sled is decorating our mantel.
I used Chalky Paint and a stencil and brought new life to this vintage sled.
I painted only the center boards, leaving all the old rusty, vintage metal and red sideboards in their original condition.
A beautiful family heirloom for years to come.
I painted this 5' sled red then distressed the edges.
I'm using a string of rusty bells and the house number I purchased a while back at Decor Steals to decorate the sled.
If you love old sleds and vintage junk like I do then please check out when I used the white sled on my mantel to create a vintage holiday scene!
If you are a fan of buffalo check then you will love the sled I stenciled with a great buffalo check stencil!

I love the red sled too. Haven't tried my Annie Sloane paint yet!
ReplyDeleteI love sleds and yours are fantastic. They make wonderful Christmas decorations. Such lucky finds!
ReplyDeleteI love how you dressed up your sleds! I picked up a couple over the summer. One I left as is and the other I painted red which was really out of character for me. It's on my porch.

I just love a vintage sled incorporated into holiday vignettes. Your Let It Snow sled is gorgeous! They are so hard to find and I've been on the hunt for a few years now.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these. I've been looking for a vintage sled for the longest time. Perfect! Thanks for sharing at Vintage Inspiration Party, Susan.
