Gotta love spray paint!

I've completed a couple of quick projects that only took a little spray paint.

I love it when a project is quick, easy, and inexpensive!

First one was the trash can in my bedroom.

Since we re-decorated with a purple/gray/silver color scheme, the gold-ish garbage can was out of place.
It may have taken me a few months, but I finally got around to spraying it silver...

The next spray paint project were little kids chairs.

BEFORE

They were natural wood, but were looking grungy after 7 years of use (probably more than that since some of them were hand-me-downs!)

AFTER

I decided on a fun, bright red- since it can then be used in either the nautical bedroom or the airplane bedroom.
Plus red will be fun for birthday parties (I love having kid-size chairs on hand!)

The natural wood really soaked up the paint, taking 3 cans of spray paint (and of course, I bought them one at a time- thinking each time it would be enough!)



Since there was a little left in the 3rd can, I added a 4th little rocking chair in... It was already red, so just needed a touch-up.
My grandfather had built this one for my mom's classroom when she was teaching 1st grade.
