Trash to Treasure

Jodi at Simply This That and The Other posted some fun projects she did for a class about decorating on a budget. I fell in love with EVERYTHING on this post. Here are my absolute favorites

See this cookie tin:


Of course she painted it. We have seen that before and it is always cute! But there is more! Check it out:


She put a rub-on transfer on the front and that handle on top is the perfect finishing touch!

And do you know what this is:


A toothbrush holder! She painted it and guess what she used it for:


Do you see it in the window? It is now a flower vase! I have seen them used as vases before, but never as cute as that one!

And here we are with tins again:

And yes, she painted those too! And stacked them and they are so cute:


You HAVE to go to her blog and check out the before and after posts of the room she decorated! So cute!
