flea market finds...

I finally experienced the Kane County Flea Market and it did not disappoint. So many booths, so many great things. Because I'm quite Type A, I made a list of all the things I was looking for. Because I am also not quite Type A, I forgot it at home. So I had to try and remember what I needed. One thing I wanted was a basket for the bathroom that I could use to hold toilet paper. The bathroom is a major focus right now, so you'll be seeing a few more projects in the coming days.

I was so excited to get this project started that I forgot the before picture. But it was an antique white that was a little beat up. I decided on a glossy black and started spraying.


What I liked most about it was that it was two pieces. A cool basket that housed a metal bin. The only downside of the project was that I didn't measure the location that I wanted to put it. So I had to place it perpendicular to the wall. But I still think it works. 


Here's a closer look at the details of the box. 


Now my TP has a cozy little home and my bath is one step closer to order. HOORAY!!!! 
(I guess there is a little Type A in there. )
