Spray Painted Bird Statue


This ugly, rusty looking bird statue is something that I picked up off the Ross clearance rack last week for $2.99... ewww. I really loved the shape and personality of this little bird though and thought that, with a new coat of paint, it would look perfect in Sophie's nursery!


After a quick coat of pink spray paint... the birdy is transformed!


I think it's the perfect finishing touch to the shelf in her room! What do you think?!

Bar Stool Redo




After looking for 30 inch tall bar stools online, I was pretty sure I was going to have to spend around $20 a piece, even on Craigslist. Then I saw these light colored wood ones pop up... for $10!! And they still had the tags attached! Hubby picked them up on the way home from work and I immediately took out some Colonial Red Rustoleum spray paint I had in the garage from another project and gave them a quick coat. No sanding, no priming, just sprayed it right on... and 15 minutes later... I had some beautiful new red stools for my kitchen bar! I like to think of them as the lipstick of my kitchen- I love them!
