"Before and After" Quickie Makeover

So I guess some of the pervie internet people out there will just looove today's title. I really wanted to link up with the CSI girls today, but it just wasn't in the cards. Too much going on this week to try to knock off one of these for the challenge:

As I was washing dishes, trying to think of something fun and housey to write about today, I saw the top of my new microwave and remembered The Nester's 31 Days to a Less Messy Nest series.

So, here's the before:

Um, I told you guys I keep it real. Open bag of napkins and syrup spot on the countertop included.

Nothing that can't be remedied with some 409 spray and a $7.99 napkin holder from my favorite local boutique, Tarjay.

Or Target. Whatever.

I like that I can spray paint this piece easily if I decide the black is not working anymore. Sometimes little changes make a big difference.
