thrift project
By atrophiei know i haven't updated in forever, so i thought i'd post this little tidbit:
picked up a wastebasket at Goodwill for $1.99.
hated the colour, loved the shape. picked up some Krylon Fusion black spray paint for plastic surfaces for around $5. a few coats and hours of drying time, and now i've got a really classy wastebasket for my room.
i'm not sure if i should spray it with a top coat of anything. it seems to be doing fine so far...the paint says 7 days until it's chip-free. it seems to be bonded pretty well to the plastic. time will tell.

Goodwill is the best, isn't it? I never would have thought to paint a wastebasket (although I did paint a lamp base I found there) your's came out great!
