Recently, I had the opportunity to do that... I had an old black hamper that was very weather-beaten and missing it's lid! Most people would have just pitched it without a second thought, and I was about to do the same when an idea struck me. I began to work on this hamper. Spray paint was all it took! After a fresh coat of black paint it was no longer looking quite so forlorn. All it needed now was the finishing touch! Since it's Fall, that final touch was two bright yellow Mums. We brought them home and after adding some filler in the bottom of the hamper, the Mums we're happily ensconced in their new home! Now they are a cheery addition to my outside fall decor!
Before I added the Mums but after the coat of fresh paint!
Finished product!
This was just one way I have recently transformed the useless into something useful. There are endless possibilities you can use to decorate your home to be a welcoming place to come home to at the end of the day.
I'm sure you have done this in your home as well, and I would love to hear about your transformation!
