It's hard to tell, but the metal planter was (note: I wrote "was") an olivey shade of green. No more!
A fresh coat of $0.97 white spray paint from Wal-Mart has transformed her into a new "tool" organizer for my Salvation Army makeover desk, which I will reveal on Monday when I link to a Goodwill Party at Thrifty Decor Chick's blog.
A little leftover black fabric paint (that was all I had!), a homemade stencil (check back on Monday to see how I did it!), and she is all dressed up with nowhere to go. Well, she has somewhere to go...my new desk, but I can't show you that just yet.
Have you discovered any frugal finds lately? Hit a yard sale this weekend and see what you can find!
{Happy Frugal Friday!}

Great finds..thanks for linking!
I love that blue color too. In fact I'm wearing it right now (shirt and sweater)
Great finds! I do think it's a little rude for you to hold off on showing us the desk, though. :)
Can't wait until Monday!
That turned out adorable! Can't wait to see your desk!
I just bought a very similar planter and have been having a hard time decided what to do with it. I love yours!
I think I just might be copying. :) Thanks for the inspiration!

Great eye -it's amazing what paint can do.
Looks fantastic! I LOVE that vase too! Great finds! I have a 3 year old and an almost 1 year old too! Life is crazy, but so much fun! Blogging is definitely a great outlet for me. Although, I probably could stand to do it a little less. : )
Cute makeover! Love the thrifty finds!
