Friends : I would like to warn you. If you have a creative bone in your body and are itching for a project stay away from this blog post. This one is so easy and cheap that you will be buying items you have no use for just to transform something ugly into something fabulous!
If you know me at all you know that I.love.spray.paint. Anything I can find cheap and spray paint consider it done. Well, when I saw this lovely post at http://www.younghouselove.com/page/2/ I knew I had a project waiting for me. So, after work I headed over to Goodwill and All Things Possible. I found some cute candlesticks at Goodwill, but convinced myself that they were not what I was looking for so I headed on over to All Things Possible. Jackpot! I found the way cute candle pictured for $3. While there, I also grabbed 2 baskets for $1 - Score! We have been needing one for our bathroom and then I snagged a really cute red one that can be used just about anywhere(and why would I leave it for .50?). Later on at dinner that night Chris asked me,"So you really only spent $4 and got 2 baskets and that candle?" He is so easily impressed with my shopping skills. Let's hope the eye for something ugly that has potential and the bargain shopping brain both are genes I pass on to our kids :)
Anywho, here is the finished product. Not bad for about 5 minutes worth of work and 1 hour of drying. I also find that while waiting on one project to be finished I typically start another. So, while waiting for this to dry I did a load of laundry and decorated for fall. You can just call me wonder woman...ha!
