“But let’s be real, my toddler’s favorite toys are brown cardboard boxes and clear plastic water bottles. So I really think that she’s a neutral girly at heart,” she said before getting into her DIY instructions.
Powell took her viewers on a trip to Lowe’s, where she picked out a few neutral colors to spray paint the vibrant red and green toy Christmas tree. Once back at her house, she took the toy outside to complete the transformation.
“Guys, honestly I love them. They’re definitely giving organic, modern vibes,” Powell said after taking a step back and looking at her finished tree. “Should I paint the train or leave it as is?”
“It’s just not even cute anymore…u took away all personality for urself and u admitted it. ur not just a sad beige mom, ur a selfish mom,” one commenter wrote.
“Did you prep the PLASTIC? No! Did you read that spray paint is toxic to babies? Also no! Are you a sad beige mom? Yes!” another said.
