Last weekend when I was out garage-saling, I found this copper tub. I paid $10 for it. To say I was excited is a little bit of an understatement. :)
My husband started to clean it up. Now, I'm torn here. I LOVED the patina, but it was really dirty and I did want to use it in the house... So I'm sure some of you will think we are completely crazy, but we cleaned it up.
I used Bar Keepers Friend and a blue scrubby. In the cracks and dents I used a toothbrush with Bar Keepers Friend sprinkled on it.
After it was all clean, I used a microfiber cloth and put Brasso on it.
Now I have a place in my laundry room for dirty towels. I used to have an Ikea laundry basket, and like this 100% better!!
I did not get to the lid yet. It is made out of steel, so will now look quite different than the tub.
I may move it to the family room and put blankets in it. Right now I'm loving it here.
Thanks for your visit!
Pam
