Years back, I up cycled an old sewing machine drawer to use as a remote holder on the coffee table.
As much as I liked the holder, it just wasn’t fitting in to my newer streamlined décor.
Then, I found an idea online. Why not use a vintage planter to hold the remotes?
You might recall this past upcycling project. I bought this at a road side sale for $1.00 I'm not sure why I was drawn to it, but I bought it.

I posted a blog on March 8, 2018 on the upcycling project. I loved the outcome.

Unfortunately, since the planter didn't have drainage holes, the plant withered and died. I pulled out the plant and stuck the planter in the garage.

While on Pinterest looking up velvet pumpkins, I spied a great idea. Why not use my vintage planter for a remote holder? Using chalk paint and silver gilding wax brought this planter into the modern era.
I cleaned out the old soil, a good wash and drying and voila— a remote holder that fits much better on the coffee table.
Sometimes it is the easiest fix that is the most satisfying.
