My love for finding then repurposing things that people no longer want has no limits. I have been known to “collect” things that I will one day find a use for. My husband has recently submitted my story to the TV show Hoarders.
*rolls eyes*
I’m an art teacher. It comes with the territory. Not too many can say their workspace consists of toilet paper rolls and empty baby food jars. Yes, I’m so glamorous. My co-worker’s daughter moved out and was getting rid of some things. My co-workers are fully aware of my little condition. Of course she brought me something she thought I’d like.
She was right! I love anything with a natural texture. I love anything that provides any kind of storage.
I’m not a huge fan of the blue and white stenciled hearts however. But that’s nothing a little paint can’t fix! I’m thinking of painting the flat top part and maybe the handles.
And because I can’t make a decision to save my life…
Do you think I should
A) paint the top black
B) paint the top white & grey chevron
C) paint the top a funky bright color
D) leave it as is and give it to my mom
E) throw the darn thing out
I think the chevron would be adorable! But I also think you might be able to sand off those hearts and checkers and leave it perfectly natural too, depending on how well that stuff comes off. I bet you it’s simply acrylic paint and might come off very easily! Can’t wait to see what you do!
Thanks for your input Kelly!!
Chevron. You can’t lose with chevrons.
True.
paint the top grey and white chevron! It will look great against the natural wood!!! 🙂 But, you know… a bright bold color is always fun too!!!!!!
That’s 3 votes for chevy chevron!!
C) paint the top a funky bright color
I like the idea of painting the top black.
Chevron. Chevron. Chevron.
I immediately saw sewing basket. Man, 30 is killing me.
That IS a cute sewing basket! Great idea. I’ll be 30 in August lol
I have to agree with the Chevron folks, super cute idea.
Thanks for the vote Amanda! Stop by again soon 🙂
