Milk Crate Planter and a Save Your Weekend Graco Paint Sprayer Giveaway!

 

 

I found this milk crate at a garage sale last year.  It was filthy, really, really filthy!!  But I scrubbed and scrubbed it and got it presentable looking. 

 

 

Last weekend we were in Sandwich, Illinois for a wedding.  We were able to steal a little time before the ceremony and do some shopping.  We saw these great old boxes at The Sandwich Antique Mart and loved the dark color.

 

 

 

 

 So we decided to stain this one using Natural Stain.

 

 

So that the dirt and plants wouldn't fall out, I lined the bottom with two layers of burlap.  I filled the box with Miracle Gro Potting Mix and planted away.  I put it on my front porch and love it!

Now on to the Giveaway!



 

Graco is going to give me a paint sprayer to give away to one of my readers. What a great giveaway!

 

 

The giveaway is for the Graco TrueCoat Plus II Paint Sprayer

 

 

 



 

Did you know that applying paint with a paint sprayer is up to 10x faster than brushing and up to 4x faster than rolling?

 

There are no messy trays or rollers.  Setting up a paint sprayer takes only minutes.  Cleanup is fast and easy too!

 

Your smooth, flawless project lasts longer and looks great. Graco is the brand the professionals pick—U.S. painting contractors prefer Graco 7 to 1 over the nearest competitive brand, according to the Frost & Sullivan Paint Contractors Choice Award for Overall Best Brands.

 

 The Graco TrueCoat Plus II Paint Sprayer:

 • For small projects that require 1-2 gallons

• Sprays a variety of materials such as stain, acrylic, enamels, oil-based primers and latex

• No thinning required—simply pour your material into the cup

• Available at your nearest home improvement retailer

Simple Closet Organization and a Winner of the Ramsign Giveaway

 

I used to have my purses stuck up on a shelf in my closet.  Each time I went in there, that shelf just looked messy!

So this is what it looked like before...

 

 

And now this is what it looks like.

 

 

I had my husband add this dowel and now the purses hang nicely.  The straps are a little long on these, so I had to  wrap them around the hangers, but what a nice difference.

I think I'm going to try hanging my boots from hangers on this rod too...

 

 

 

 

Thank you to all of those who entered my Ramsign giveaway.  Using Random Number Generator, it chose #4.  HeatherF1 is the lucky winner!  Congratulations Heather!

 

Thanks so much for your visit.
