Spray Paint project!


I spray paint!!!  Why, because this stuff can pretty much change anything into something pretty to look at.  Frames, furniture, glass, even shoes!!!!  I'm still trying to convince theHubs why I have so many spray paint cans or why I keep buying more....lol!!

I spent one of these past Saturdays spray painting outdoor plant pots.  They were due for a upgrade.  When we first moved into our new home we had no plants what so ever, the front door looked sad and lonely.  My mother-in-law gave me this potted plant, it is a type of Ivy.  The pot was painted white, probably with house paint not sure and after 7 years the paint has chipped away.  I sanded down as much as I could as you can see from the picture below.


It's no secret, I love easy projects.  This was super easy too!  I didn't remove the plant, because I was lazy and I said I loved easy projects.  So I just covered the plant with a plastic bag, tucked in all the long Ivy arms and pushed wooden skewers in around the bag so I wouldn't get spray paint all up in there. 

Ta-da!!  Fresh and white! 



I picked up this salmon colored pot at a garage sale for $1.00, yay!!  I washed and dried this baby and it was ready to be painted.  I loved the shiny color it had, it just didn't go with the outdoor color of the house.  So I just chose another shiny color to make a statement in the entry way.   



LOVE IT! Who doesn't love a nice turquoise?



Now, they are ready to show off!



I just put them here to take the picture.  They have since been moved, the blue one is on the walkway now.  

Everyone have a fabulous day, stay cool if it's hot out or stay dry if you're getting the rain!

My late FridayFinds!!

This post was for last Friday, but my phone was acting up and I couldn't get the pictures.  Well while out on my lunch break I went to one of the local resale shops. I really wasn't planning on buying anything I was just "browsing", lol!!  While there I found this cute little desk.






I absolutely love it!! When I first came upon it, there was a big mirror on it.  I was soooo hoping that it was under $50 bucks.  I have been looking for a small desk for my craft room for a while.  I refused to pay full price for a new one. I'm so glad I decided to go there for lunch.  Because I'm sure it wouldn't have been there long.  When I removed the big mirror from the top, to my hearts delight I saw a sticker price of $40.00!  I quickly called over an attendant and told them I'd take it.  





I paid for it and had them load it into my truck!  Yay for me!!  I really wish that it had come with a chair.  That's not a problem but I was just wishing.  Can't wait to get it upstairs in its new home - my craft room!
