I love the look of new galvanized steel garbage cans and have always thought they were too pretty to consign to such degrading tasks such as holding garbage. Brittany saw the potential in the lowly containers and decided to make one over, using it for craft storage. She says they’re great for big items, like rolls of decorative paper. My only concern is that it would take up a lot of room, but be that as it may, her tarted-up garbage can-turn storage bin is totally unique and colorful, thanks to some cleverly placed pom-poms.
