Well. I had a nice surprise Saturday when I arrived home after my lacrosse and soccer chauffeur duties. There was a box on my doorstep from Sherry at Back2Vintage filled with all of these awesome metal tins. She sent them to me because she thought I could create something from them...well, some of them are so pretty, I can't touch them and will use them as storage for all my little finds.
Others, I will either paint or decoupage...not really sure just yet. Any ideas? I know there is spray paint that works on metal, but not so sure about other paints...anyone ever try painting metal?
That's all. Have a great rest of the weekend.

What a nice gift from Sherry, they are pretty tins.
I love your mantel. That's the look I want for my upstairs mantel. The basement mantel is perfect for all my junk but the upstairs one needs to be a bit more tranquil....I love what you've done, it looks very elegant!
Happy Sunday.
Jane
how sweet! have fun with them!
Renee I love that gate piece and your frames. Just gorgeous! Fun tins. What a lucky girl you are.
Hi Renee....!
LOVE your tins....They WILL come in handy for teeny weeny Treasures.... :o) !!
We have a product in Oz called / by White Night....It's a paint specifically for metal items....I use the clear spray (poly) on my rusty stuff & as an undercoat if I want to treat something PRIOR to a new paint job....I'd say you'd have something similar there.... :o) !!
Your mantle looks YUMMY with your white frames, vase & tulips....Makes me want to DITCH the VINTAGE & the JUNK & just go SHABBY....!!
THANKS for your comment earlier....If you ever do find one & it's PERFECT & want to pass it on let me know....Perhaps we can do an International Trade....!!
Hope your week is coming along WONDERFULLY....!
Cheers from Oz,
Tamarah :o)
