Five Minute Fix: Trash Receptacle For Bathroom

     When we were deciding what things to do while building our house one thing was sure: Oil rubbed bronze. Hardware, Plumbing, light fixtures - they all needed to be oil rubbed bronze. We have a lot of trash bins around  but they are not oil rubbed bronze.

     I wanted a small trash receptacle for the water closet in our master bath. The size they sell for bathrooms is a little overbearing in the small room. So I scanned the house for something small. I wanted it to have a lid. I found it! An empty Clorox wipes container! Bit it wasn't pretty. Do I really want my house to be decorated by Clorox? Not really. I went down to the basement, grabbed a can of oil rubbed bronze spray paint, and went outside.

     In *less than five minutes, for less than five dollars I had the perfect little trash can from my bathroom.

    Here it is, not taking up too much space. You can line it with a produce bag.



*Drying time not included.

  1. Very cool. Not sure I've seen a clorox container that large before. All the ones I've see are skinny minnys. Looks great!
