$8.00 Fish Tank Makeover Budget Diva

$8.00 Fish Tank Makeover
Budget Diva

My husband came home one day with a 75 gallon fish tank ( for free!! ) and put it rigggghhhht in the dining room.   It was beautiful inside with all the fish and natural decor but the outside was just an eyesore! So big and bulky and had a 1980s wood paneling look.



The fake wood fish tank look just had to GO! Pronto!


Time to shop for the cheapest materials!!! My favorite!

Habitat for Humanity:
- quarter used gallon if black paint $1.00
- half used chrome spray paint $.50

Dollar store:
-Drop cloth $1.00
- 2 paint rollers $2.00
- 1 paint liner $1.00
- 2 rolls of blue tape $2.00

=$7.50 plus tax!


I started by stripping off the fake wood wallpaper with a knife. Then did two coats of black paint and........


Wala!!! Super fabulous and goes with with dining room decor. I couldn't be happier with the tank and the price! Until next time...stay fabulous :)
