Instead of spring cleaning, I have been spring sprucing! It’s amazing how a week off, random items just sitting around and a couple of cans of spray paint can spruce a house right up!
This is a great way to add dimension to your house without spending beaucoup bucks. Pick your paint, prep your area and item and then spray away; but be sure you’re not close to anything you don’t want painted! Most of all, have fun with it!
Here are a few of my creations, with a couple more things on my list.
- This tarnished fruit basket from my mom via my nana went from drab to fab in about 10 minutes!
- These brown finial bookends were given to me by my mom a while ago and got lost on one of my bookshelves. Now they look fabulous holding my cookbooks on our buffet!

- This iron leaf basket blended in with everything around the house. Not anymore!

---For the next couple of pictures I don’t have before and after shots. I got too excited and just started spraying before I could take pics (oops), but I do love the results!
- This magazine holder given to me by my Nana went from a faded celery green to a bright turquoise – love!
- Below is my napkin basket that lives in the pantry. I have had this basket forever and finally decided to give it a makeover. It’s much brighter and happier!
- This was a galvanized lantern that we bought to use for some of our wedding decorations. Luckily the glass came out easily which made the paint job super simple.
- Lastly, this super cool and unique vase was given to me by my Aunt Dawnie. I love the mason jar feel and wanted to liven it up just a bit. The red helps pop the top and holder and definitely makes a fun statement next to our couch. So fun!
TIP:
I would definitely recommend gloves, they will save you many trips to the sink!
Good Luck!
