This past saturday, I had the day off from work. Hooray! That hardly ever happens, and I decided to spend the day running errands. I've been on the hunt for an antique, ornate frame...so I hit up a couple of Goodwills. I found a few things...but no frame.
I saw this and decided that it held a lot of potential. It was marked at $2.99, which is a steal in itself. But it had the sale tag of the day, and I got it for only $1.49!
I decided to paint it to match the scrapbook tool organizer that Clint got me for christmas. I'm going to use it to hold all of my cardstock packs!
So this is the before...
and this is the after! Now, it isn't perfect...but I like it! It was a trial and error experience...but I think it turned out pretty well. The picture doesn't show the color too well...but I spray painted the whole thing Pistachio green, and did accents of black.
another picture. Its a good size...it'll hold a lot of paper! :D
Tomorrow I'll paint a basket I bought! And I do have another item I purchased to re-vamp...but its gonna have to wait a few months ;)

Yay for Goodwill deals! Your project is awesome, and you're so smart to think of using it to hold your cardstock packs! I have a bunch of those packs in a bag leaning against the wall behind our bed...foolish, huh? :)
FUN stuff! You too have better luck than me :}
