Refreshing old bread box

So we had this bread box that was just all scratched up, so i decided to sand it down and repaint it.

second coat


after painted it, i realized that the door part will not stay painted because of its constant use, so i mod podged fabric on it! 



it's now much prettier!


Mail holder refreshed + keys rack

I dug out an old mail holder that was very out dated.  So i sanded it down and spray painted it with chalk board paint, then painted some bamboo on both sides with acrylic paint then spray painted with clear coat paint.




We have this right to the front door for our mail, so i thought i should also make something to hold our keys. I once saw a picture of someone who made a key rack with old keys, so i tried to copy it. 

I very very carefully bend each old key using vice-grip and then super glued them onto our mail holder
(sorry about the blurry picture)


so there u have it, easy diy key rack!

DIY grocery bag storage

Using a can, be it a coffee can or cookie tin, as long as you can poke a hole on the lid, this can be done.





 using glue or mod podge to glue a piece of either wrapping paper or scrapbook paper or even fabric. then if you have some alphabet stickers, stick them onto the tin/can.

simply cut open a hole on the lid.  stuff grocery plastic bags in it, place it in the bathroom for those little trash cans!




DIY charging station #2

Saw this on Pinterest Holder for charging cell phone

Then I had a different idea for the holder, I made one for my hubby's tooth brush charger. 

A WooLite detergent bottle






I dug around and found a spray paint so i decided to paint the holder
