The hubs and I had a St. Patrick's Day party this year, so of course, we supplied plenty of brew for our guests (Root Beer and Diet Root Beer, not to mention the non-shot rainbow jello shots). I know, we run with a pretty crazy crowd! At the end of the night, as I was cleaning up, I started throwing away all of the empty bottles. (Of course this was before our guests were gone--I can't help it.) Then, I changed my mind, and I pulled them all back out of the trash (again, in front of people). Inspiration can't stop me from digging through the trash, people. It cannot. Just me and some time with a trusty can of high gloss, white spray paint, and I now have myself nine vases. (I must not have dug to the bottom of the trash to get an even dozen.) You know what? I kind of love them! Plus, doesn't it just feel good to upcycle?
Theses are fabulous! Great thinking. I want to make some for myself :)
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! They'd make for cheap beginnings of centerpieces at a wedding reception!
ReplyDeleteThat's a fun idea. Thanks for visiting me on my SITS day
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love this idea! I think I could even pull this off without messing it up. Thanks for the idea! Upcycle - you are so green.
ReplyDeleteReally great idea! If inclined, could you help me with a design problem? I am contemplating a green couch (between sage and forest) What colors would go with it? Or if you could direct me to a good website. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi Amber! Without seeing the rest of the room, I would probably vote on sage green. Sage is much more neutral and versatile. As far as good websites, my favorites are Pottery Barn and West Elm. I think I remember seeing that West Elm had a few sofas that came in sage. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThose look so great! I think I'm going to start making some! Thanks for the inspiration :)
