When Caleb and I were Christmas shopping last month, a gold leaf platter from Martha Stewart's collection at Macy's caught my eye. I thought it was so pretty and would be perfect as a catchall on my bedside table, but I didn't really think it was worth $76. A few weeks later, I found this little glass leaf dish at a thrift store.
I didn't know what kind of paint I could use on glass, so I just bought some Martha Stewart multi surface paint at Michael's. A paint for every surface - genius, right?! Leave it to Martha! Anyway I painted my little dish while Caleb was out of town last week, and I'm really happy with how it turned out! And it only cost me $2.50 :)
Great find and I love how you transformed it!!
ReplyDeleteGreat find and I love how you transformed it!!

ReplyDeleteI think it's just as cute as Martha's :-) Great job!

ReplyDeleteLove this dish! I think I need to get a dish for in our bathroom for when I take my jewelry off. I have a dish in the bedroom, but it seems to be overflowing. Maybe I should actually start using my jewelry box... haha
