amanda and i have been doing many DIY projects lately, and this past weekend we remembered the main step...taking pictures!
we always enjoy stopping by goodwill to drop off items and also search for great finds. about a month ago, we spotted these fantastic vases for only $1.99 each. we are doing this project for my dining room, and we have a collection of blue vases in our back pocket for the upcoming photoshoot, which is tbd. because these vases weren't blue, we decided to paint them blue ourselves. luckily, amanda just painted her bathroom a light tifffany blue, and we had some leftover paint in her garage. what's even better. it's a glossy finish. so we created a funnel, painted the bottles, and now we have amazing pieces of art in my dining room for under $4 total. if you have any leftover paint and a goodwill close by, this is a quick, easy diy. i cannot wait to see these in my dining room with pretty pink flowers inside :) jolene.
