Who doesn't love Kmart right now? They have some amazing homeware at budget prices. I am in love with their entire homeware range, especially those mentioned in my Top 20 Homeware at Kmart. Sometimes, I just can't find the right colour or style to suit my house. That's where these easy top 10 Kmart hacks come in, with most hacks only requiring some cheap paint to transform the colour or style.

I love the super hero masks, so cute! I've done a house shelf one myself and I'm thinking now that my sonny angel collection is growing so much I probably need to get another one!

I think the term is painting, not hacking..

Thank you for taking time to leave a comment. This is a list of "easy" hacks and they are not all painted. If you would like to see some difficult ones you should check out pinterest.

That's all really creative, well done busy mum!
Melinda
Awesome hacks! I have one of those white pineapples on my desk... might seek out some copper-ish coloured spray paint.

You can get the copper coloured spray paint from Supercheap or Auto Barn. My Bunnings didn't have the copper colour.
