Spray Painting Magic

Can we stop for a minute and talk about the joys of spray paint? I’ve mentioned before that I might have a growing addiction. With early signs of spring this year, aka spray paint time, I might have gotten a little out of control.

Here are a few quick changes and mini spray paint makeovers.

It does wonders for a updating a picture frame. The matte got a makeover with a little green left over paint from an earlier desk project. Doesn’t it make the picture pop?

Spray paint created the opposite (and desired) effect on our TV remote basket. A dark brown helped the basket blend in with the TV cabinet. No more color popping basket storage.

With these small successes under way, I thought it was about time to put that magical can to work on the kiddos’ chairs. Both chairs were free from a local daycare closing its doors. I gave them a good scrub down, but they still looked a little tired.

After a little orange spray paint magic, they were like new chairs.

Don’t mind the peeling work table. It gets overtime wear thanks to my two little ones and I am not in any hurry to repaint it. When I look at it I pretend it’s “shabby chic”.  No, just me?

My orange chair makeover was a hit! Why didn’t I do this early! I even gave them white feet for a fun, 50’s style. I can’t get enough of them. They fit right in with our orange treasure boxes.

And I wasn’t done yet. Cheap Ikea clock, check. Orange spray paint, check.

A new (dare I say custom) clock for only $1.99.

It’s a perfect addition to our little learning center, right next to the cork boards and work table.

Another shot of the revamped chairs. (And another peek at the “rustic” work table).

Have you broken out the spray paint already this year? What is the craziest thing you have ever painted with spray paint?
