White Potential


Would you believe this is plastic? I bought this at a garage sale for only $1.00. It's a laundry hamper and I loved the rose details. I knew if I painted it white-it would look great. It's so lightweight because it's plastic. It could be used in a bathroom, bedroom, or backporch. It just looks like a cabinet so the possibilities are endless!

You've got to see the potential in an item

    Great makeover! I would never had guessed it was plastic, and the roses would totally have drawn me in to try and save it too! btw, I just read your last post and love the shoes I'm sure no matter what outfit you put those with on the 4th, you will look fabulous! Theresa
