Sweet Salvage Find... Before and After

 It took me a little longer to get to this post than I planned!! I've been serving on a jury the past week and it has consumed all my time!! Thankfully I am finished and life can get back to normal!!!!

This is the piece I found at Sweet Salvage last month. It is your basic paper organizer.

I am always looking for ways to store small projects on my desk. I don't always finish them from start to finish so it's nice to have a place to keep them together while I temporarily move on to something else. I thought this would serve that purpose nicely, although it was a little masculine for the look I want in my studio. So, I pulled out a can of spray paint and went to work!!

This is how it turned out. :) I cut 3 pieces of scrapbook paper to fill the inside of the trays and purchased the wooden scrolly pieces at Hobby Lobby for .99 cents a pair. I wanted them to coordinate with the paper so I painted them a soft grey.

I added some brown glaze to the wooden scrolls to give them more depth and bring some more of the brown from the paper into the piece.

I'm very happy with the finished results and think it will fit into the studio very nicely!!

I am going to link up with Becky over at Timewashed for Blissful Whites Wednesday.

I hope you will pop over and see the other great white posts!!!!
