DIY Update

Several weeks ago I asked what you thought about a DIY project. You can see the before photos here. I took your suggestions and spray painted it green - a color we have in several places in the house. Although many say spray painting is easy, I thought it would be easier. I am not very good at it. Don't look too hard. :)
After I painted it I played around with where to put it.....

I tried this corner, and put a couple little things in it. But I wasn't feeling it. The problem with this "shadow box" is that it is not deep enough to put anything substantial in it. There is no room for a normal picture frame; no depth to put a glass bowl with little cute balls; boxes too small to fit more than a lemon. This is what I settled on:

The saying seemed so appropriate for a Do-It-Yourself upgrade:
Use it Up
Wear It Out
Make It Do
Or Do Without

What do you think?

You did great! Spray painting talent comes with time. My first project wasn't perfect at all, but it worked. :). I like what you settled on!
