Yes, I ate the candy in this box. I had a little bit of help, but most of that candy is now residing on my back side. I think the empty box is pretty cool, and the change the color makes it even better. I'm not sure what I'll put in there, but I'll find something that needs a pretty purple box.
Years ago, one of my officemates kept a box like this on her desk. Every day I would walk in and think, "Oh my gosh! She has CANDY!" She kept markers and pencils in there and I was dissapointed over and over and over. Spray painting an empty candy box works for me. I'm re-using something that would otherwise be tossed in the trash. With it's new color, I won't think CANDY*CANDY*CANDY every time I see it.
What a great idea! You know, if you cut a piece of gift wrap or scrapbook paper to fit the top, you could glue it on and then you couldn't still read the "Whitman's Sampler" label, LOL!
ReplyDeleteI probably would have had my eye on that candy box as well!
ReplyDeleteI love old boxes! The purple looks awesome~
ReplyDeleteYou know I have this thing for shoes right?? Well what does one do with all of those shoe boxes? A great pal of mine & I had a "paint the boxes" party one afternoon and we made all these great works of art!! I'll try to remember to take pictures and post them. I use one long boot box for all of the documents I want to keep- insurance policy, bill statements, warrenties. Another one I use for all of my greeting cards...
Thats cute. I think Martha Stewart said to have something yellow in every room (or did I just make that up?). I might just keep the yellow box. Heck, maybe I should keep it full of chocolate too.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like something I would do - keep markers and pencils in that box.
