Hello Friends
It's been a rainy weekend so I was able to
Work on a little project that has been waiting for some time
Last summer I found this little caddy at a garage sale
For just a couple of dollars
I knew I wanted to paint it
But it's been at the lower end of my project list
You can see it's just been sitting out in the garage
It was very dusty and pretty beat up
So I did give it a good cleaning
And let it dry
I decided to go out yesterday and put a quick
Coat of Kilz on it as a primer
When I say quick I mean quick
5 minutes and done
Today I ran over to Home Depot
Looking for paint I spied this little sample pot
In the oops pile
Hey, for 50 cents, how could I pass it up
And since it is Behr
I didn't think I could go wrong
I brought it all in the LR and while watching the NASCAR race
Which was happening just down the road from me
I decided to start painting
I put two coats on and was finished in no time at all
I added a few little 'keys' I had in a drawer
And voila - my new remote caddy is finished
I will keep my TV remotes in it
As well as nail files and clippers
(I use those items a lot at night while watching TV)
I also decided to put a small note pad and pen in it
So when I think of something I need to purchase or do
I can write it down
It seems the 'remember' part of my brain
Tends to 'forget' more often than not :)
Sure did love the rain this weekend
And enjoyed getting a small project done
Also,
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog
And leaving your comments and encouraging words
Stepping into the DIY, decor, project part of the blog world
Has been a bit intimidating for me
You have made it much more enjoyable
Thank you
Have a great week ahead

Wow, I love how it turned out. Very nice and I love the added look of the keys too.
ReplyDeleteWell, didn't THAT turn out cute? I LOVE the keys on the side of it. It looks like it has gone from a 70's piece to current user! Great job- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteWow, Cindy ~ You did a great job! Your projects inspire me to work on some of my own. We can do more than we thought we could.
ReplyDeleteLove and hugs to you ~ FlowerLady
That little caddy looks lovely now and what a perfect spot for all those annoying remotes.
ReplyDeleteThe rain was wonderful, wasn't it? I love how clean and fresh the air is right now. Well, all good smells unless you happen to drive past one of the feedlots -- they do not fair well in the rain!
So cute! Great idea to add the keys :)

How neat!!! That was a great transformation! I am lazy, I bought a basket to house all the remotes:):)
ReplyDeleteLove it! I am just looking at all the remotes we have around her. Now I just need to find a tote.

ReplyDeleteSo much better with a fresh coat of paint, and it's so functional too. Love the addition of the keys.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on this project! It's perfect for holding all the "necessary" equipment needed for all of our electronics these days. I know you are enjoying it, I bet it makes you smile each time you see it! Thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I have a caddy I might just need to paint now that I've seen yours! Thanks for linking to TTF this week.
