I don’t know about you but whenever it’s Summer I feel creative and crafty and ready to get my hands dirty and get sweaty (Ok without the sweat)
So, when I purchased this storage box after getting so overwhelmed by my messy desk, I started using it for stacking some papers that are private or just clutter stuff that I don’t want anyone to see.
So, when I purchased this storage box after getting so overwhelmed by my messy desk, I started using it for stacking some papers that are private or just clutter stuff that I don’t want anyone to see.
It's been helpful and kept my desk look organized , but somehow I felt it could do a bit of oomph to make me feel a bit more giddy inside (i know crazy right?) My first attempt was only to paint the metals gold, but it looked a bit bare and didn't gave me the 'wow' factor that I was looking for. My goal for this box was to not look like it's from Ikea or anywhere else that you wouldn't come a across at stores. ( you gotta dream big sometime:)
- I started of using my washi tape(really??) I know I know, but does it really matter?
Seeing the first gold stripe, I knew I was going in right direction
Seeing this colour of gold, makes me feel giddy inside ( remember, the feeling I was going for?)
It already looks totally different.
Remember my first initial plan was to paint the metals gold.
But we got there!
