"B" is for Bins

A wooden bin transformation.

Yes this is the before picture:

And the after:

It's shocking what you can do with Christmas items marked down 90% off and a little paint. 

These bins were only .59 cents each.  Now I think I should've bought all that was on the shelf.

I'm always thinking, what could I do with that, how can I change that to make it great or useful?

Clearly the "Happy Holidays" motif wasn't going to cut it.

And I'm always thinking ahead, red or green on sale at Christmas is perfect for Valentine's and St. Pat's Day.

Just look at the inside, such a great contrast with the new outside:

Here's how I transformed the bins:

Painted one thick coat Behr Off-White satin finish.

Stenciled numbers on, first brown paint then black, sanded with 120 grit sandpaper, stained with Minwax special walnut and sealed with clear satin poly.

Now what do we put in them?

(Sorry kids those boxes are empty!)

Loving my transformed wooden bins.

One last side by side:

So easy, so worth .59 cents.
