Candy Corn Bottles

I'm not sure if it was the last few days of pouring down rain or the fact that I could see Bryan's breath the other morning as we headed to the patio, for our cup of joe...

But I am finally in a Autumn mood....

It's time to lite those pumpkin spice candles, put out a few fall decorations, plus get organized and ready for school to start...I hate the last part.  :(

So here's a little project I did last year but never had time to share...(my life definitely does not get easier when the kiddo's go back to school)...

I picked up these bottles at the GW...but it was last year so I have no idea what I paid..although they had to be cheap...that is what I do..cheap :)

I pounded a piece of rod iron in ground to hold the bottles (I do the same thing to paint bowling balls) and then used orange spray paint to cover the whole thing....

After the first coat had dried I sprayed the top with white paint and the bottom with yellow..

Easy Peasy!

I then filled them with fall foliage...

And put them under the oil painting I did of Cally...

Sooo

Let the air get crisp and the leaves fall...I am finally ready...I think.  :)

Spray Paint Lovin

Thought I'd share a few quick and easy projects I just finished up.

I got these two lovely's at a garage sale a couple of weeks ago...

My plan was to paint them both white (although my whole family thought I should refinish the bookends... leaving the wood finish).

But I had my own vision (not to mention I know what sells).

The only problem was....In the end I didn't like the white

So.....

I repainted them blue....Now this I like!!!  :)

Here's the frame painted white.  I added little paper pendants just for fun.

This wire vase I got at the GW .  It looked tired and dated black...

and so cheery and springy white...

(Don't you just love the little Hob Nob  bud vase...I hated to sell it).  :(

Thanks for stopping by!!

Little Yellow Dresser

Here's my latest furniture transformation...
 I got this little gal at a garage sale, there was something about it, that was just asking for yellow....So yellow is what I did!

 I forgot to take a "before picture" of the whole thing, but here's a drawer before I started painting.

The handles were just a boring bronze color so I spray painted them with Krylons's Dual paint and primer in Pistachio...I think it looks great with the "Whisper Yellow" by BEHR!!

One of the drawer pulls was broken and I couldn't find a matching one so I purchased a totally different style...painted it to like the others and placed it on the top drawer.

I also added a little birdie ...

Just for fun....

So what do you think?

Picture Frame Dry Erase Board

I first saw this done at brown paper packages and thought "What a Brilliant Idea"!! 

It seems that everyone in my house hold has something to express...Not to mention, I had two picture frames  (I purchased this summer for under $5.00) that were just waiting to be updated!!

So I got to work....

I first tore them apart, being careful not to loss any of the tiny little screws (they all went in a glass).

I then sanded the finish....just enough to ruff it up, so that the  paint would stick.. 

Both frames were kind of beat up, but I decided that added to the charm....So I choose not to fill any of the marks!  I painted them with  KRYLON'S Dual Paint Primer in a wonderful "Cherry Red". 

I then cleaned the glass and sprayed two coats of KRYLON's indoor/outdoor gloss in Ivory on ONE side of the glass.  (When putting the glass back in the frame make sure the painted side is on the backside...so you write on the glass not the paint)!!!

Here are the results....

Pretty nice if I may say so myself!!!  :)

(The other one is off to my church for the preschool)

So this is what's on it right now...the news keep promising us snow...so....

"LET IT SNOW"!

I will be linking up to many of those way cool (get it cool...snow...) link party's on my side bar...check them out you won't be sorry!!

And as always...

Thanks so much for visiting!!

Spray Paint Love

You may not know this about me but I L-O-V-E Spray Paint (So does my son...someday I'll have to share his work)!!!!  :) 

So when I saw this lovely green can of paint a Walmart...Well I just had to by it!!

You see I had this OLD table and chair set that had totally faded from years in the sun and it was in desperate need of a Re-do.

So here's my Before picture.....

 You can see it was in pretty bad shape...The plastic was pitted and the metal rusted.

But after several coats of Krylon's Outdoor paint (4 cans altogether) and a little patience I hate waiting for coats to dry! :)  I am very happy with the results!!

I also bought the new pads for the chairs at Walmart for $9:00....I was going to paint flowers on the solid side but I'm not so sure anymore....

I think they're just fine the way they are....but I do like to paint things!!

Now for some of my past projects....

I was Soooo excited when Krylon came out with their Fusion Paint for Plastics!!!  Suddenly my cheap lawn furniture could match my outdoor palette....Happy Sigh!

The first thing I painted was an old Hunter Green Bench I bought when I was pregnant with Gar...17 years ago...WOW!!  I painted it to match the play house door.....



I later purchased these Pool Chairs at Rite Aid for a VERY reasonable price and painted them in the same Fusion Paint for Plastics... :)
Well... I guess that's it for now....
Go paint something and thanks for visiting!!!
