Spray Painting

Jake and I went thrifting last week to find a few small things to spray paint. We love spray painting, it’s always fun to find something old and not so attractive, and make it look new. :)

Here are the befores:

Krylon makes so many amazing colors! We seriously debated on just buying them all, but that would be silly now wouldn’t it ;) So we chose these three…

I just got the Expedit shelf this weekend from Ikea, and it’s so great for storage, even though I’m still filling it up. Jake paints a lot and his supplies are always consuming the living room so I put all of his painting stuff in the little black bins at the bottom to hide it. Not to mention our little Florida house is fairy small so I used it as a divider between the living room and the kitchen/dining room area. For now it’s working great, but we will see in the future, I tend to change my mind alot, haha!

Anyways, hope everyone has a happy monday, :)
