The Effects of Spray Paint Make Me Smile

And no, it isn't because of the scent.

A while back, I bought a cheap mirror from Ross. I also got 2 picture frames, both were $7, originally priced at $14 or so.

One was pink, and the other was black. I hated the color of the pink one but bought it anyway because I liked the shapes on it better than the black. When shopping for home goods, one thing I’ve learned is that color can always be altered, hence today’s project.

The weather here has been a little too cool to paint outdoors, even when it isn’t raining, but I caught a good day and took advantage.

I used my spray paint adaptor which keeps my hands free of the paint, but I forgot to add it to the shot.

This was the quickest paint project I’ve ever done. From the initial shaking of the paint can, through the end, it took under 10 minutes to finish both sides.

These are wooden frames, but I’ve found that using the plastic paint only makes them glossier…which is what I wanted. (Plus it was the only black I had on hand.)

I like it better in black. What do you think?

Good Will Hunting

A few days ago, I stopped by the local Goodwill in search of a desk, and a couple of end tables. Although I didn’t find what I was looking for, I did stumble upon a few picture frames.

I got 10 frames for under $7 total, which is a complete steal considering you could easily pay that much for just one. I have a few project ideas in mind, as well as an empty hallway waiting to meet them.

I also found a nice pair of small crates, $1 for  both.

I think with a little paint and some fabric, they’ll be great for storage in the super hero’s room. Off to plan projects.

Until next time,
