Lindsi Gabler Designs: Cheap and Simple

Philosophy

I believe that your home should be your sanctuary and shouldn't have to cost you a lot of money. You should feel safe and comfortable in your home. My personal motto in my own house,"I want to feel like a blanket is wrapped around me in every room I go into". There is nothing more comforting to me than a soft blanket wrapped around me (that is probably why I am always buying throw blankets to go in every room). My home is all done in warm colors to create that feel for me. Your colors and textures may be different than mine and that is perfectly fine, but I think that we all agree that the goal is to feel safe and comfortable, our own personal sanctuary, in our home.

Cheap and Simple - Waste Basket

I was at the dollar store and ran into this everyday basket.

I looked at that and thought Waste Basket! I don't know about you guys, but I have had an 8 year old yucky, ugly waste basket in my laundry room/bathroom and I was sick of it. Sure it was functional, but I wanted something that was attractive, and have you ever gone and looked to purchase a nice waste basket at the store? They can be extremely pricey and who wants to pay that for their trash?!

So... I took my handy dandy black spray paint and sprayed the thing down, bought some little garbage bags to put inside and wala!...

A new, more attractive waste basket

And the best part.... I only cost me $1 people!!!! I am thinking that I am going to go purchase another one for my master bathroom now. How can you pass up such a cheap and simple thing as that?!
