I have a little DIY to share with you today. If you follow me on Instagram then you have seen a little sneak peak. But it all started with this box that I have sitting under my coffee table. It houses all our remotes. It was still pretty, don’t get me wrong but it started to scream “boring”.

See it sitting under the table? I’m sure you never even really noticed it! Am I right?

Well I’m sure you’ll notice it now, because I gave it a little makeover.
I have been drawn to colors that I would wear more and more and the color combo that I used for the box is just one of those things.

First I removed the hardware and of course spray painted it gold, couldn’t help myself!!!

Then I taped the top off and spray painted it with Valspar’s Frosty Berry (pink). After that I spray painted the bottom with Rustoleum’s Gloss Protective Enamel Orange.

And this is what the box looks like now. I can’t stop looking at it to be honest.

    I’m so on board with the pink and orange! Was the hardware just glued on, and you popped it off? It’s the perfect lively addition to your room!

    • Julia Konya says

      June 12, 2013 at 1:23 pm

      Thanks! And no the hardware was heavy duty metal screwed in from the inside. Much better than glueing.

    And the remote box is a wallflower no more! Love it! I’ve never seen your sofa up close…it’s gorgeous! And, those furry stools are intriguing. I have some Ikea sheepskins that I’ve thought about using to recover a couple of my stools. Love yours!
