Concealing an Ugly Thermostat #Entryway
We have an old dial thermostat that was a musty gold and was placed right at the front entrance of our house. With a little bit of gray craft paint and an old frame, I worked it into the decor and now it blends so so much better.
I used craft paint and a small art brush (from a dollar store pack) to paint the thermostat gray- this doesn't effect the way it measures the temperature or anything. Then I decorated around it.
We actually don't use our front entrance, so this area is just some free real estate for storage and a nice vignette (and, um, the litter box).
From the living room it looks like it's just part of the arrangement and blends in really well--- as opposed to the non-matching gold that it was before.
