Bathrooms and Buckets. A Quick Before and After.

Well, sorta. Not a whole bathroom before and after, but definitely a bucket makeover- and done for free!

1 old vintage tin bucket

A homemade stencil

Trace it out with a pencil

Craft paint and brushes

Fill it in with a steady hand

Viola- a spiffy new bathroom stuff holder (that's such a catchy name, I think I'll trademark it)!


(this would also make an adorable planter pot out on the front steps!)

    What a great idea. I have several old vintage buckets, but they are just catching dust. My creative juices no longer exist.

    Vintage bucket? Check. Pencil? Check. Craft paint? Check. Now if I only could find me one of those steady hands...

    This is seriously cool. Great idea!
