DIY With Spray Paint
We've all done it...found exactly what you're looking for, only for it to not be the right color, finish or texture. In our case it was this copper colored basket:
We purchased five of these at our local Lowes on sale for $5.49, you can also find them here. We wanted galvanized metal baskets, so we purchased one can of Rust-oleum Hammered Spray Paint and gave each a total of three light coats.
Not including drying time, this project took 30 minutes to complete, saved us some dough and got us the look we wanted.

A Very Portland Christmas
{Smith Family Christmas}
This year was our first Christmas together in Portland ~ and boy was it a great one! Christmas Eve was spent enjoying a production of The Snow Queen, chowing down on Smitty's Seafood Stew, attending Mass, and celebrating at Cousin Michael's. We awoke to full stockings, coffee and snow flurries and enjoyed an amazing Christmas meal at Aunt Nancy's that evening. The rest of the week was spent with friends and family ~ an impromptu photography class with Uncle Hutch, cousin's night and a reunion with good friends.
