Take 5 Thursday #2

Take 5 Thursday's are all about quick things you can do to change your home for the better in 5 minutes or less.

Take 5 #2

When I was in college and moved into my 1st one bedroom apartment with two other gals, I had to make some purchases which at that point I figured would be fun for the girls.  Those who know me, know that I have a weakness for hot pink.  So, when shopping at target to pick up some of those simple essentials I spotted a very fun bright pink trashcan.  This trashcan followed me through 3 apartments of girls, and into my first two apartments with my hubby.  One day it hit me, we should not have a hot pink trashcan, as it in no way matches our kitchen decor, or any decor in our home really.  Also, with a curious baby around, it is only a matter of time before he creates some disaster with it.  We needed a grown-up trashcan, one with a lid.

After:

See?  Such a simple change and it made such a huge difference.  We really are grown-ups, I promise, we only used the hot pink one for two years.  I am so glad that we now have a nice looking place to conceal our trash.  Such a quick and easy thing to do.
