Fancy Storage D.I.Y.

This is not an ingenious DIY post, nor is it very difficult. Wait. Aren't DIYs supposed to be easy? Good point.

Sick and tired of the boring plastic storage boxes you get in markets in Delhi, and not being keen on venturing out in this hot and muggy monsoon weather into crowded markets searching for the perfect box, I improvised on the one available in my own room. I hopped over to the nearest stationery store (Narula's in Khan Market, New Delhi) and bought a can of acrylic spray paint in Gold. I took this red plastic basket (bought in Lajpat Nagar Market, New Delhi) which fits nicely into the open cupboard in the bathroom.

I spray-painted it Gold to go with the old colonial look of the bathroom itself and the yellow lights. I feel it also blends well with the soft lightwood of the cupboard. Its advisable to let it dry for a good 24 hours before you put it to use. Its paint and it needs to dry. Oh, also dont use it when its windy outside or you'll get spray paint on your eye-glasses. Ahem. I meant you'll get paint everywhere else. Hehe .. Ahem.
