I never would have thought I could fall in love with spray paint. I've always thought of gross graffiti and gang signs when spray paint was mentioned. But two wonderful ladies have opened my eyes and I have seen the light! Kimba at A Soft Place to Land and Joy at Joys of Home are both spray painting geniuses or geni, what is the plural of genius anyway? Anyhoo, they have transformed some pretty ugly looking stuff into beautiful home decor, please check them out, they are both awesome, I promise you'll be inspired to go buy a can of spray paint and make something around your house fabulous!
I've had these Home Interior picture frames for years. I decided it was time to spruce them up a bit. Soooooooo........
They became this......
And this.........
And this! The picture does not do it justice. I found some of my favorite pics of Chad and I and the boys and had made them into black and whites and mounted them in my new and improved picture frames. Then I hung them on a plate rack that I wasn't using anywhere. Once I get some paint on that yucky white wall, it will be perfect! Ahhhhh, sweet spray painting bliss.
I thought I would throw in a picture of my mantle too. Now, I know it is nothing like Nester's mantle, but in my defense it is my 1st mantle ever, and I am a mantle decorating virgin. I am sure I will give it a more Nester like touch next year! Again, its a horrible picture, it really looks pretty in real life!

hi candy, found your blog and am hooked. after reading through your entire site love what you have done with spray paint, i too have a fettish with paint but have never tried spray paint....will google and try.
your family is absolutely adorable and am excited that you will soon have a new baby girl....b/w don't get too discouraged, cooking, cleaning and doing laundry is way overrated:) with 4 kids and a husband my house seriously can never be clean for more than 5 minutes, laundry is a process and never accomplished and eating....seriously,who needs more than reese's pb cups, snickers and coke?
one more thing, you were absolutely NOT a brat....we all were:) i seriously want to get together, but haven't been to topeka for a long, long time. maybe soon....have a merry christmas and best wishes with your baby girl! jananne
I think it all looks fabulous! Yipee for spray paint.
Thank you for visiting my place! I love your mantle, you did a great job! Beautiful. You asked me about the paint cans and I just bought them at Lowes. I think they were about $1.60 or something around there. Have a great day!
