leftovers (decoratively speaking)

I had to plan centerpieces for large party with a western spring theme.  This is what I came up with which looks cool for the party but not for my house. I had a lot of those flowers left over as well as some paint I used to paint the horseshoes.   
Other leftovers hanging around my house include creamy white spraypaint, a cheap, flimsy wooden letter "G" I didn't know what to do with and a brown metal tub in the garage that I didn't like it anymore.
 
I have this leftover spraypaint in chrome and aluminum.
So, with all those leftovers, I cooked up a couple of new things.
Now I have this awesome "chrome" G.
and I've got a new creamy white tub...with a bunch of flowers in it.
I may add a little somethin' to it like a letter, name or word but for now I like the simple look of it.
I think I'm gonna link this to some great link parties listed at the top of my blog. Go check 'em out!

  1. Nice "new" white tub you have - good repurposing.

    I loved your "favourite blog party" list at the top of your blog so much that I had to copy you and make my own, as I was coming and using yours all the time. Plus I wanted to modify it to my own tastes. It's funny that more blogs don't have it. Thanks for the genius idea.
