basket makeover.

Remember this 1980's Floridian inspired gem?

I snatched it up a few weeks ago at the thrift store. I managed to see past the salmon wicker and brought it home because of it's size and shape. I had big plans.

Next stop that day was the home improvement store. I grabbed two cans of spray paint. One white, one metallic silver.

I first did two coats inside and out with the white spray paint. Wicker is a little tricky because of all the nook's and crannies...it's like an english muffin with butter... you really gotta get it in there.

Once it had dried I used some newspaper and painters tape and taped off the top section because I wanted a two tone effect. Another two coats with the silver on the bottom half of the basket and I was done.

A cool new storage basket for extra throw pillows or blankets.

Even a stylish way to store all those toys and stuffed animals.

Now go look around your house for something to spray paint...it's a fun and quick transformation.
