Eclectic chic oil cans

As my father cleans their home out for their big move, he contunues to give his collections to me. One of my favorites were some old oil cans. I had a before photo but for some crazy reason I can't find it. So I will just have to share the after photos with you....All they needed was a little paint and some distressing.




They make great photo frames by attaching a photo to the stem with a clothes pin.

Have a great weekend.

  8. I never thought of using oil cans to hold pictures. that's cute. I will have to do that with the old oil cans I have in my garage. Why put them in the garbage can when I can use this to hold pictures.
