The weather finally turned and we had highs in the 70s with no humidity and it's going to stick for the next few days. I have a project in the works that may manifest now that the weather is cooperating. And....it was the first Sunday night that I didn't spend picking out kids' clothes and setting out school bags for them--and for me! Yay for summer.
We did some spray painting this weekend and I was super excited about the items I had to paint. A few of them are accents that will go on a built-in bookshelf in my nephew's bedroom! His bookshelf is white, so you will see that these accents will POP.
A few befores....of course, Charlie wanted in on the fun.
An old brass thingy my mom gave me that needed an update...
I bought these birds at the flea market for $1.
Even some Matchbox cars were in the crosshairs...along with a little green box Charlie painted.
We got started. I forgot to snap a pic of this little guy before...it's a frame for a globe.
The paint I got was a gloss green...I didn't know it was gloss until I started using it, but it looks really cool! The birds got a coat of white paint and I hung them in my kitchen.
And I know you're dying to see the Matchbox cars....I really thought he would inundate them with paint, but I love the effect he was going for. : ) My little DIYer.
I haven't put away my spray paint next....I have another project going and I am hoping it looks good when I'm finished!
