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.
Are you feeling the pink and orange like I do?
Talk to you on Friday my friends.

Hello!! I’m one of your new followers. & I just LOVE the storage box! Two of my fav color combinations btw 🙂 I actually adore all of your work, so please keep it coming
Thank you so much Tiffany. That just made my day 😉
You’re so right…it has so much more impact now! And why does gold spray paint make EVERYTHING better??
LOL, 3 years ago it didn’t make everything better but now it does 😉
Great little change. It really give the pop to the coffee table. love it.
Thanks Ashley I thought so too but my husband just informed me that he never even noticed….uh men!
i really love that! so simple, but so fun!
I think so too Cassie and thanks!!!
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!
Thanks! And no the hardware was heavy duty metal screwed in from the inside. Much better than glueing.
It’s really cute!
Love it Julia! Love the color combo. It adds the perfect pop of color to the room!
So chic, feminine, and oh-so-Lilly! Thanks for sharing at the Lilly Pulitzer Summer Style Soiree!
Thanks for coming over Heather!

I love it.. the box, the colors.. and your living room… excellent..
Thanks Jamala!
That colorful box looks absolutely perfect in your living room. (Magazine worthy space.) Love the fun pop of color and of course the gold “jewelry” knob. So stylish!
It is very noticeable now. I love the colours!!!!!
Das ist ja unglaublich, welchen Unterschied Farbe machen kann;)
Sieht viel, viel besser aus!
Passt super zum Interieur!;)
Agree that the box was looking pretty in grey but looks so much better in pink, orange and GOLD! 🙂 I really love it! 🙂 oh! gold spray paint, someone has to stop me from using it everywhere over here! 🙂

Thanks Joy!
That’s fantastic! I love it. I never would have thought to put pink and orange together….The gold holds it together literately and decoratively!!!
Oooo, very pretty! It’s all like “Look at me!! Look at me!”…but in a good way. 😉
LOVE your living room. It’s so cozy!
LOL, I think it is! Thanks so much Michelle!
Its so crazy how ridiculously cute this box is!! Awesome job!
I love everything in this room. Beautiful.
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!
LOVE the pop of color!! Thanks so much for linking up!!

I love the pink and orange together and if I had a little girl…this is definitely the color scheme I would do for her room. The box looks great and it is so those colors done right. But, I have to tell you again how much I love your new DIY striped artwork…I couldn’t take my eyes off them in your pics! LOVE. 😉
I know, I think I’d love to do this for my little girl too. I can’t wait to makeover her room in the fall.

Hi Melissa, I hate to tell you that it is from a thrift shop and I bought it for $25 🙂
