Found it!
I had decided I needed to come up with something to make that mail holder “my style”….
Becky made this comment to yesterdays post that stuck with me………
I say don’t jump on the band wagon if it doesn’t fit your decor! Stick with what YOU LIKE. It will always be the right choice. Becky
And I have to say…………
She is right! Is she Confucius or something!!! She is so smart! Becky….what is the meaning of life? How do you raise perfect children? Do criss-cross t-shirts hide muffin tops on low rise jeans? Will slimming one pieces push all my fat out the leg and arm holes? I have more issues! I need more answers!
Her comment challenged me to not copy another style but make it my style.
First….I had taken this……….
 And re-cycled it into what might look good in someone else’s home…..or someones goodwill bag : )
Â
And totally missed my style.
But since Confucius stopped by……
I made it mine.
I’m wondering what you will think………..
Ta Daaaaaa!
I painted the wire part nickel….the little pegs nickel…the rest a black satin…..
And only used spray paint.Â
I used a little stencil for the monogram and spray painted the “S” with nickel as well.
Was that the most awful tutorial ever?
I have to explain the “KISS” because I still have a friend thinking that I really meant to decorate with a skirt on my toilet.….
But anyways……
My fear was that it would look cluttered with mail in it………
I also took this basket…..

We got it at a yard sale for 50 cents this past Saturday….I was in a frenzy by this time with inspiration dripping out of every pore and ripped out the yellow fabric and placed it in my workshop/professional paint station……
But now it’s living right next door to my mail holder.
Awwwwww…….I love them both!
What do you guys think now?
Think I found my style?
Love,
Me
