I Heart Spray Paint

August 23rd, 2008

So yesterday I got adventurous with Spray Paint, and I’m hooked. I’m now looking around the house for more items that need a punch of color. I’m pretty sure that by wintertime every wooden surface in my house is going to be painted.

If you look in the background there is a little brown chair. This is one of the chairs from the kitchen, and it could use a little something.

The kitchen chair got several coats of Hot Pink Watermelon Spray Paint, and looks so cute! I’m now thinking of painting the mis-matched kitchen set in bright pop art colors.

I have a small Wicker Chair on the front porch and every season I try to paint it a different color.

I have painted it Dark Blue, Wine, and most recently Aqua. With Fall approaching I thought it would be appropriate to paint it Orange.

The orange paint looks great, and I think the kitty looks adorable hanging out on it too. I moved the chair back to the front porch, and now I can’t wait to decorate for Halloween.

On to the last project. My mom gave me her antique Printer Press drawer, and I have never known what to do with it.

When we were kids the drawer hung in our den and was home to many miniatures. I think that with a little pink paint and maybe a little decoupage it would make an awesome jewelry holder.

Painting with the Spray Paint was so much fun, but my arm is a little sore today. I think it took me about 2 hours to finish all three pieces, but I love how they turned out. Watch out furniture, Nico has a new hobby.

    Thanks Trisha! I used Krylon Watermelon Spray Paint for the pink chair. Krylon has so many great colors to choose from, and the paint was very easy to use too. I really loved the way that the chair turned out, and I can’t wait to get to the rest of the furniture in the house :)Thanks again for stopping by.

    Thanks Maggie! Have a fun shopping trip with your hubby :) I have lots of little tables and chairs that are begging for a coat of spray paint, I just need a little time to get it done.

    The furniture looks so pretty in pink! How much furniture can you do per can of paint?

    Thanks Mimi! I love the pink too :) I used about 1 1/2 cans of Spray Paint for the 2 Pink pieces, and I applied several coats of the Spray Paint. The spray paint should cover 25 square feet, but this was my first time at Spray Painting so I probably painted a little heavy. I had so much fun with this project, and I already have a few more pieces in mind to paint!
