Adding some personality to the kitchen, part 2

In my quest to add some personality and colour to the kitchen I decided I had to have some red-and-white polka dots somewhere. I'm kind of obsessed with polka dots right now; red-and-white in particular.

I bought this red biscuit (cookie) tin at The Warehouse. Although apparently designed for only a single biscuit ...



... it is big enough to use as a utensil holder next to the stove.



First, I used a dry-wipe marker to plan out where I wanted my polka dots to be.



Then I went around the tin with my white paint marker (best invention ever!) ...



... and individually rubbed off the black dot and drew on a white one. I didn't mind it looking hand-painted and uneven, which is a good thing.



The dots were still looking a little transparent so I used a small brush and white acrylic paint to go over each one. Voila, some red-and-white polka dots for my kitchen. I love it and it makes me smile when I see it :)
