garbages and krylon

so. i'm trying to clean out my inbox. i have about 90 drafts and it's a bit overwhelming. i start post i already have started and i forget to post things and they sit there for weeks. (poor lonely posts) so i'm weeding out some guest posts i have done! this one was for  diy club!


so, i occasionally do some work at a kids dentist office here in town. 

and i was sprucing up the bathrooms...just a little touch up of paint.

and thought that the garbages need a little sprucing up as well...

so i took loads of krylon spray paint...
and got to it... (oh...look at that green grass. come back green grass!)
for the lids i used my cricut and some contact paper and made a stencil....


and used painter's tape for the rest....
lots...and lots of painter's tape....(i would put on one..spray paint...add another layer..spray with a different color...and repeated!)
they are so fun!

this is the boy bathroom

and the girls (didn't realize i didn't get a wide shot of it!...but it's the toothfairy's dressing room)

(this is before i touched it up! it's now a shade darker!)
i think i always have a scowl on my face.

  5. I love your blog. I just came across it a few days ago. I have been reading every update since. I really really do love all of your ideas and crafts. LOVE!!!

    My only problem and I just thought you might want to know this is that it is really slow to load. With two kids a messy house and my own list of craft projects, it is hard to have patients when a site loads slow.

    Please don't take that wrong, your site is beautiful, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE your content. I just thought you would want to know.

    Keep blogging, We will keep reading and crafting.
