Wow, the last week has been so busy that it just flew by!! Rods sister was here for the weekend and we did a LOT of shopping and even got to go to a concert for free, score!
So because of the busyness, I haven't really been crafting, sewing, cooking or really anything creative, but today I caught my breath a little bit and got back into it:) I am trying to figure out ways to pull my house together using stuff I already have or thrift store purchases.
Since I still have almost a whole (small) can of yellow paint leftover from my lamps, I have been trying to figure out where else I can use it. So, completely randomly today I notice that the basket in my bathroom holding all my hair product was boringly "basket color". Kind of tan, beige, off white, anyway, I figured it would look much better with some style! I was right, it does look better.
Here are some photos of the process...
BEFORE...

I almost went with a dipped looked, but when I put the blue liner into the basket, it just didn't look right, so....
... I decided to paint the whole thing, which turned out pretty good I think!
My bathroom counter is a little bit cluttered, yes....
And that's it!! My one lonely little project in a week! I know its pretty pathetic for a self proclaimed "lover of all things creative". But hey, it should pick up soon, because I picked up my sewing machines today!!!!!!!!!!!!! They were both not working well since before Christmas, so I finally got them serviced. Now I can get back to working on my projects that have sat neglected for many months! Hopefully I'll have some good projects to blog about very soon!
(By the way, there is another small project peeking into this photo! My lace/photo frame jewelry hanger. I just need to hang it somewhere yet...)
