A $2 Makeover



The other day I picked up this cute little caddy for $1 at the thrift store.
I had knew right away I wanted to paint it white and use it for my upcoming Easter decor.
So I made my way over to the Dollar Tree and bought some $1 white paint.

Here it is before.



My supplies.




And after.




I distressed it a wee bit.
Amazing what a little bit of paint can do!



A simple and easy makeover.
Kinda cute....for $2.

I buy those tool caddies whenever I find them and use them to hold geraniums in the summertime. That way I can move the colour around.

My word for the year is SIMPLE.
I like this simple make over.
...and YES! a little white paint can do wonders.
Hmmm....now, I'm wondering what you'll do with this little tote?
