A Few Creative Updates

It always amazes me what a little bit of paint and some scrapbook paper can do.   This was the tiered  basket I bought at Home Goods in silver.

It kind of disappeared into the background in its original color, so I painted it Heirloom White.  I like it much better!

The little tray I bought at Goodwill was a light yellow color and had this beach scene.  It would have been okay as is, except that I didn’t really care for the scene.

Here it is also in Heirloom White and with a red and white sea creature-y scrapbook paper.  I really like this paper and it is a departure from my usual, but I thought it worked well here.

The oblong shaped tin I got at Goodwill, that had a Fall motif to it.

Papered up, monogrammed {from the napkins I bought at Home Goods}, and a few little buttons.  It is pictured here with two sauce cans from the recycling that have also been given a scrapbook paper and ribbon makeover.

I love how quickly I was able to update these items with a little bit of paint and paper.  Now I have decorative accessories that work for me!  I’m still working on the pair of interesting looking mirror/shelf pieces and hope to have them ready next week.
