The time I made something off pinterest

Hi, my name is Carissa and I'm addicted to pinterest. I LOVE pinning diy/crafts! I really wanted to be crafty yesterday and I really wanted it to have to do with paint. So when I saw this pin I immediately grabbed my paints and went to work. I probably should have done it properly, you know sanding and all that jazz. But I am impatient and just wanted to do it! It turned out alright in the end.

I started with my plain old boring knife block. 

not so thrilling right?

And I started painting it blue. I had a pretty full bottle of it, and it was really old so I wanted to get rid of it. After the first coat it looked like this. Yep, maybe I should have sanded it. But oh well.

I decided to change the color to dark green. That way it'll match the kitchen. I used the rest of the paint in the bottle and it ended up being 3ish coats. Then I took my silver marker and drew all over it. I'm not sure why. I just felt like it.

Looks better now eh? If I get tired of this color in a few months I can always paint it again! Or if our next place is a different color I can paint it to match that!

I'll be back a little later with the winner of the giveaway!
