I completely forgot to include these pictures in my post last week on painting the kids' closet. I found these baskets at Walgreens, and almost all of them were a natural color, but there was one that was a chocolate brown that I loved. I thought it would look better against the blue background, too. But I wasn't about to drive around to all the Walgreens in the area and see if they had the chocolate colored baskets. So I went shopping in the basement for some brown paint and this is how they turned out.
The baskets look great. Did you get a good deal on them. A girl can always use a basket or two. They fill up quick :o)
ReplyDeleteCute! They look terrific. cherry
ReplyDeleteso so clever Mrs J.
ReplyDeleteyou and a can of paint are an amazing duo! :) I wish I was as bold as you! by the way, I LOVE your sons shirt. . .I have an eight year old who HAS to finish the level! :)
ReplyDeletePerhaps a dumb question - but does the paint ever wear off? The baskets look great and I would love to paint some of mine! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteGreat touches! Nicely organized with fun accents.
ReplyDeleteLove the paint baskets as well. Yours look so much better brown.

YOU ARE FREAKIN' BRILLIANT!!!!
I can't tell you how many times I've passed up an inexpensive basket just because it was the wrong color! Why didn't I think to paint them?????
The world needs Mrs. Jones :)
