Lately I have been spray painting pretty much EVERYTHING in our house! I think it's the fact that SPRING is here (wahoooo!) and I am so inspired by all of the beauty around us. Flowers of all colors are blooming and I love it! So I decided to bring some color into our house to lighten things up around here!
My first Re-Do were these old containers I found at the Thrift Store for a few cents. They were brown and uuuugly, so I attacked their ugliness with some spray paint and... I won!
They used to look like this:
Ok, Ok, not the WORST thing in the world, but just not enough color for me.
Now this is more like it:
A little help from my Silhouette and viola!
I think I am in love!
how awesomely cute are these?! Love them. Most of my old tins are Christmas types, but some are not really all that adorable. This is JUST what I needed! Thanks so much for sharing the inspiration.

I adore this!!! I've been debating getting the glass canister everybody is using for kitchen storage, but this is SO much more my style! Definitely bookmarking and will now be following you b/c I just love a girl who uses color!! And, by the way, my grammy had those exact kitchen canisters on her counters for years! Thanks for the flashback!
ReplyDeleteThese tins look terrific. I loved how you used the initial on top. I may have to do this for some of my scrapbooking supplies! Thanks for sharing! ~Michelle
ReplyDeletethose are soo cute! i love the colors...the same colors as my kitchen!! haha. thanks for linking it up!
ReplyDeleteThose look really cute! I love redoing tin cans. Mostly because you can find them anywhere for less than a quarter and I'm all about cheap! lol.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the spray painting - I've been spraying everything too. I've spent the last three days spray painting all the hinges and cabinet pulls in my kitchen.
You did a fabulous job!! I love how you redid them. The vinyl is SO, SO cute!! I featured your post in my weekly Wednesday's Wowzers:
