Hi Friends! I am so excited to be part of an awesome giveaway today, but first I have a quick makeover to share! Last Summer I went to my first blogging conference. I roomed with my good friend, Nancy from Artsy Chicks Rule. You can read all about it here.
We were given all kinds of fun DIY goodies, including this kit from The Home Depot:
It was a kit to build this:
I’m not sure if they actually sell these at your Home Depot store, but you can buy similar kits from them online here. Putting it together only took a few minutes.
It was fun to play around with it…here’s how it ended up:
I painted it in Duck Egg Blue, then dry-brushed it with white and graphite, followed by a coat of clear wax. The piece on the front is part of an old fence picket that I dry brushed.
The knob is from Hobby Lobby as is the metal plate behind it.
It’s a very simple update, but it turned out pretty cute and there are so many uses for a simple caddy like this. It sold the day after I dropped it off at my booth.
You can see how my friend, Nancy transformed hers here! 🙂
Now for the FUN giveaway!
