The $0.50 Baskets

How can you not? 
Seriously.
Two baskets for $1.
I couldn't not.



And, would you believe I just had this hot pink spray paint sitting in the garage...probably waiting on these very baskets?


I feel sure they'll fit nicely in the playroom... Pin It Now!

    I do believe, that you have the same love of baskets that I do. I definitely could not pass that up either. BTW...does that spray paint holder thingy fit on any brand of spray paint?

      Pretty much...there are some that it doesn't, but those are built to be easier on your hands anyway. It's totally worth buying!

    I love that you sprayed them! I found 3 metal ones at Habitat Store for a buck! Not really sure what I'm gonna do with them yet, but they were just too cool to pass up. =) Maybe I will find some inspiration from you!!!

    Did those baskets have a plastic coating on them? I was just wondering if I could spray paint a couple that I have but unsure of it sticking to the plastic outer layer. ~ Maureen

      Honestly, I'd go for a spray paint primer first...then follow up with your color.

    Love your name, love your blog. Stumbled across it from pinterest and I was instantly hooked. Loveeeeeee the silhouettes, I'm slightly obsessed with them but have never made one! And I also have several old windows screaming to have something made with them! I have to admit I read EVERY post since I discovered your blog at 9pm tonight!!!

      You can find those at any home improvement store- real close to the spray paint. It fits right on top of the can and allows you to shoot it like a gun, rather than hold your one finger on the top...which inevitably turns your finger into a noodle! It's a life saver!
