Fetish for Boxes???

I've be out for a while due to surgery, but everything went well and I had a beautiful New Year!

It's that time where I have to begin focusing on studies again but I have to ask the question, "Am I fetish for boxes?"

The other day I was browsing through my blog and I'm amazed at the number of boxes I've painted and/or decorated. Believe me, I don't go looking for boxes to paint, I just believe if you can save a few $$$ use what you have, and I guess that's what I did ;-) So let's see...

There you have it! Is it just me? Am I obsessed with boxes??? Did I mention I have another box in front of me that I'm contemplating painting? :-) LET YOUR CREATIVITY FLOW! I'll be back after my studies.

Bedroom Wastebasket

For sometime I've been looking for the perfect wastebasket to place in my room. Unfortunately, everything was either too white, too green, too wooden, too wicker, too plastic or too expensive. So I stopped looking...

And then one day I spotted the perfect wastebasket. It has beautiful, intricate details, a work of Art!

It has that perfect stone faux look; defined with crevices

A plastic liner lines the inside so I never have to worry about using a plastic bag

The colors cranberry and uniform blue are mused and softened with splashes of olive green and glazed with blackened bronze. On the inside, the color boasts castle rock.
