We're Painting!

I've been on a spray painting kick lately - I bought galvanized pails at the dollar store, spray painted them black, the pink planter was purchased there too, it was green and it's plastic,  the paint really perked it up!   I also spray painted the little green chairs, they were black. Regular paint was out too, I painted the entire deck and also the little plant stand.

A couple of weeks ago I salvaged this retro red lawn chair, from the dump - I have NEVER brought anything home from there before, but I just had to rescue this chair - I spray painted it green!!  

This little birdbath had seen better days, the pedestal broke so my husband attached it to an old can and I spray painted it!!!

Nothing is safe at our place - everything here (except the picture) was spray painted to match our new cupboard handles.  What a saving that turned out to be - we have two light fixtures and two vents in the kitchen - that would have easily been $200-$300 to replace.

We have been working on a partial kitchen renovation for four months, finally, it's done!!   More painting!!!  

We made this corner shelf out of an extra door we had - my husband made the shelves, I did the painting and while I was at it, painted this kitchen shelf.

I wonder if there's anything else I can spray paint???

I'm linking up to Tell it to Me Tuesday - there's ideas galore over there....

It's Wednesday and that means Rednesday -it's great!

  6. Gosh! You make me want to get out my spray paint! And I would have grabbed that chair from the dump, too! It looks so pretty green! I love all your upgraded painted items. And the kitchen is looking pretty! Love the door turned shelves, what a winning idea!

  7. It is amazing what people just throw away. LOOK AT THAT CHAIR! It's beautiful now. I not only have brought home stuff from the dump but from the curb in front of homes on trash day too. Much to my husbands embarrassment!

    Jill,
    Spray paint is wonderful!
    Love the chair. I have picked a couple of chairs like that curbside.
    The shelf from the cupboard doors is terrific! I will have to show Mister that....we've got some like that and have repurposed them already, but still have some leftover. Thanks for the inspiration!
