Not Another Caddy . . .


As I am cleaning out one of my craft cupboards I am moving everything into my new garage work space.

I found another caddy-  like I need another one.

It's amazing what I am finding in my quest to be organized.


 I remembered the number box I saw at American Home & Garden.

Yesterday I painted the caddy with Old White Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.

While waiting for the paint to dry, I checked the picture on my blog post, Seeing Green, and realized I should have painted a rectangle on the caddy.
.
In my organizing, I remembered seeing a rectangular piece of metal.

I nailed it onto the caddy and went looking for numbers to trace.


Instead, I found a bunch of magnetic letters and like that, the plan changed.

I decided to leave the metal unpainted and use magnetic letters to change the words whenever I want.


I tried out different things in the box and used a variety of words.


But, I still wanted to paint a box with numbers.

Of the caddies I painted last week, only one had been left plain.


I grabbed the caddy on the front porch and added our address.


It isn't quite the same as the American Home & Garden caddy, but it will do.


I got my number caddy - Steve actually noticed it on the porch.

And, I also have a fun caddy that can change with my mood, or the season, or the holiday . . .

I'm pretty sure I don't have any more caddies to paint.
