I have a soft spot in my heart for all things French.  Lavender fields, croissants, enamelware, old Frenchy chairs, French grain sacks… It's not like my entire personal aesthetic is French themed, but I definitely get giddy when I see rustic Frenchy things, especially DIY's that look like the real thing!

I found this DIY while browsing Pinterest (where else, right?).  For some reason this pin just called out my name, "Briiiiiiiiiittanny, look how aaaaaaamazing I aaaaam".  Just like that, for real!  I think you'll hear a voice too once you see this project:

Oh Laurie, from Heaven's Walk… these white washed French pots are heavenly!

First, Laurie white-washed her pots, then added a layer of grey paint with a towel.  Then she set them between 2 wooden spoons so the pot would stay put.

Laurie picked up this vintage French graphic from The Graphics Fairy, printed it out on paper…

rubbed some Modge Podge over the graphic…

then smoothed the graphic out on top of the pot.  Laurie left this to dry overnight.

First thing the next morning, Laurie applied a bit of water to the dry paper, and rubbed the paper off with her thumb…

And the ink from the graphic was left behind! Modge Podge is amazing. 

They're so pretty! That big one on the left rocks my world. 

And now I'm off to make 100 of these :)
