Home Depot Planters Find A New Purpose

I was at Home Depot the other day and stumbled upon a great deal!  They were selling 15" planters for $4.93, originally marked at $19.98.  I couldn't resist the orange color and quickly picked up two of them and headed for the check-out along with my spray paint that I originally went for.

They really are a fun color orange...the picture doesn't do them justice.  I purchased the planters with the idea of using them to hold all of my son's cars and trains.  These planters are pretty big...and do a great job of housing them all.

I am thinking they may be even cuter with a vinyl label on the front of them using my cricut machine.  I liked these two planters so much that I just happened to be at Home Depot later in the day and picked up two more.  I figure when I no longer need these to house toys, they can always go outside and be used the way they were intended for.

Pinkalicious

I found this cute little half end table at a local garage sale.  It has a great shape and nice details that I thought would look great distressed.  So, I went to work and lightly sanded and then wiped it down, as it was filthy!  Then, I put a coat of Kilz primer on it and followed up with two coats of Behr semi-gloss paint.  My first instinct was to paint it pink and distress it, so I followed my gut and I do love how it turned out.  I am, however, biased to the color pink.  I would like to have my bedroom painted in pink, however, I can't seem to get my hubby used to the idea.

Here is the after picture....it is now a soft shade of pink with a distressed look.  I like the way it turned out and is now for sale in our booth.  Hope you enjoy!

New Life

This is an old display case from my father in law.  He had it once hanging in his garage filled with many treasures.  My father in law has since passed away and I wanted to refurbish it and put it to use in my son's room.  I first of all cleaned it and removed the glass portion of it.  I then primed and painted it red.  I had my husband hang it in my son's room.  I love how it turned out and it's neat to know that it was his grandpa's at one time.                                                                  

Here is the after picture of the new shelf hanging in my son's room with all of his treasures!
