That same day I purchased another can of "chalkboard" paint...love that stuff. I was thinking back to a blog I saw that took an "old" drawer...chalk painted it and used it as a planter. I looked back at that watering can and had an idea!

After:

What the heck is chalkboard paint? I've never heard of it ~ but I have an adorable metal plant container I bought from an artist and It doesn't fit my color scheme anymore - was about to toss it out, but maybe??? I could revive it??
What a darling idea! You've inspired me to buy some chalkboard paint.

So cute! I am in the same mood as you - getting rid of a lot of stuff! I am in the process of cleaning out my attic. It's wonderful to have room up there now to walk and actually see what I have!
What a great transformation. Good thing you didn't throw it away!
Happy 200th post! I'm so glad you didn't throw your watering can away. That was a brilliant idea!
That is such a great idea about the watering can.
Don't you just love taking what could have been your trash and turning it into a real treasure?
I love the chalkboard water can. It would look so cute nestled in some plants with a message that said. "grow."
Or how about on your kitchen counter with a note that says, "Wat-er you have?" (BAD pun)
That's just a cute idea!! I love chalk board paint too. Thanks for sharing that. I can't wait for spring to arrive. I'll definitely have to stop by tomorrow!--take care, Renee
Oh my goodness. I was just over visiting Ruby Red and was telling her what all I miss when I don't get on for a few days. And then I visit your blog and I just can't read enough of it. It's 9:30 at night, my 8 year old is still waiting for me to tuck her in and I can't break away from looking at your beautiful laundry room. What's wrong with me!!!!!! I am a red and black and toile kind of girl. I'll have to show you pics of my bathroom. Love the night light. I need one for my room. Where did you find that one? Take care!!!
Congratulations on you 100 posts!
I really enjoy checking your blog out.
The watering can is awesome!
I LOVE it, great idea! HAPPY 200 :)

congrats on 200, ST!!
what a cute way to re-purpose a watering can...i think i'm going to have to try the chalkboard paint...i might go crazy chalboarding everything in site :)
Adorable! You know I love chalkboard paint...after all I painted both of Bryce's closet doors with that fun and nifty stuff!
I'm in the spring binge mood, too. I've accumulated so much 'stuff' since we moved back stateside that I need to purge before moving again. Oh brother!!!
Thanks for sharing something so fun. I might have to bust out my leftover paint to get busy!!! ;)
Hugs, Les
So cute! What a clever idea :)
