Easy DIY Storage Update

Updated with frosted drawers

For several years now I have been using Sterilite Drawer Carts as storage solutions in many places, including nightside tables, but being that I am an anti-clutter freak, I never liked how you can see what is inside the clear drawers. So yesterday a light bulb went off in my mind and being the crafty woman that I am, I asked my husband to run to Home Depot (with one of our wedding gift cards) and pick up some Rustoleum Frosted Glass spray paint. I prepped the three carts we have and then spent the afternoon painting two of the three, following the instructions on the can. I wish that they would have been a little more frosted but I am still happy with the change. I still have one more to do but I will finish it next weekend. In the picture below you can see the cart on the left has been frosted and the cart on the right still needs to be finished. And yes, in my house GasX is a must. Having people be able to see these items is just one of the reasons I wanted to obscure the view! Haha!

One tip: cut paper and take it to the sides and bottoms of the drawer that you do not want paint on, otherwise the spray paint will blend onto those areas. If you don't care, then don't worry about prepping to that extent.
