Shaw's Original Fir...
Ever tried finger painting? It's the most creative thing, you know!
Great, I think I'll try the chandelier idea.
I took an old silverware basket from a dishwasher, spray-painted it a bright yellow to match our outdoor furniture, and it became a great plasticware/condiment caddy for our outside table.
I love spray paint. I am spraying all the mats for the photos in my hallway with gloss paint. They look like vinyl! I think there is something spraypainted in about every room of my house. I'm kinda eager to try the upholstery paint though...I have an ugly couch that could use a touch up
i'm planning on spraying some end tables. thinking about a glossy black. i've never done it before. is there a go to brand? or anyone have any recommendations?
When I get bored of stuff I always give them a coat of paint to rework the. there is bascially nothing that can't be painted as long as you buy the right type for your job. Mae go to a good local hardware store (not a big box if you can avoid it) and take the advice of the paint person at the store. Personally, I love Krylon Fusion for plastic, Rustoleum for metal and for wood I gnerally use brush on paint, but there are plenty of sray paints for wood as well. Just apply multiple thin coats to avoid a messy finish!
Darn, I wish AT had a post editing function...I always see the spelling errors too late!
I know it's not a home project, but I spray painted a pair of ugly brown faux-suede boots... and they look FANTASTIC!!! (I'm wearing them today!!)
Love it. Used the exact same spray paint to make a big striped rug for the nursery (from a $40 white ikea rug): https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/hjaN4EE5gOVfOucqoioxmw?feat=directlink
Not to mention, chandelier, picture frames, and lamps! I try to use spray paint restraint when it comes to decent wood pieces, but it's so great for those accessories that would just end up in the trash...

Like the red chandelier - but I think the crystals should not have been painted! Even if they are "crystals" IE plastic. I really like spray paint. so fun.
