Pssst……Hey, I have a secret to tell you, but you must promise not to tell. \u00a0I defaced public property, but it was all for the love of decorating. \u00a0If I get taken to the big house, start baking those cakes now. \u00a0I’ll need several files, including one for my nails.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It all started when my mom and I revamped my back porch<\/a>. \u00a0We were in the slap-happy spray paint mode when we glanced over and saw this guy, one of my three recycle bins. \u00a0He was just too ugly to put back on the porch after we spent hours making it look so much better. \u00a0That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our intentions were good. \u00a0We thought that if we painted the bin the same shade of gray as the wall of our porch, it would blend in better.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

First, we primed it and then used some left over gray spray paint that I had in my stash. \u00a0We painted over the part that said, “Property of the City of Syracuse”. \u00a0Yikes!!! \u00a0However, we couldn’t just stop there, could we? \u00a0We painted another one, but it gets worse (or maybe I should say better).<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0I found some large letter stencils that were also in my stash, and we stenciled RECYCLE on the sides. \u00a0That’s all there was to it. \u00a0Amount of money spent – zero. \u00a0Visual impact – limitless.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In case you can’t see it because it is blending in so well, it’s there to the right of the empty bookshelf\/future boot holder. \u00a0It looks so much better than its old self would have looked wearing its royal blue garb. \u00a0I think the trash men will love me. \u00a0I will be adding beauty to their day. \u00a0If everyone does this, we might just start a movement. \u00a0Pretty trash day for all!!!<\/h3>\n

How about you? \u00a0Have you defaced any public property lately?<\/h3>\n
