You old timers may remember this post, where I knocked off a Ballard Designs detergent tin for about 1/6 the price.
That tin was a *little* blah, if I’m being honest…especially since my counter tops and walls are pretty much the same shade of boring.
I busted out the glossy red spray paint and look at it now:
I painted right over the top of the existing vinyl lettering. Then before I peeled it off I scored the edges with an Exacto knife and then pried up the corner with the point of a safety pin and peeled.
I love it and wish I’d done it ages ago!

So cool. I like the pussy willows in the vase ( I think that is what they are).
The red looks awesome! And, I love the shutters…it all looks so fresh! And, I had a great time catching up on your blog. Picturing you on crutches with little Macy…you forgot to add that you were also in a new RS Presidency and the Pres did not have a clue what we were supposed to be doing! You are such a good person and mother. Good luck with all that you are trying to accomplish!
