Spray Paint Projects


Today is a fun linky party at
www.thriftydecorchick.com

Sarah is giving us all a chance to share
some amazing creativity with spray paint.


This is in my master bathroom.
I just painted it Sea Salt by Sherwin Williams and love the color.
My bedroom is Comfort Grey and they are on the same color strip.
I have been trying to find something to go behind the bathtub and I found this last week.
Imagine that mirror bright gold.
Yes, I found it at a garage sale for $5 and knew immediately what I wanted to do with it.
I spray painted it Heirloom white and I love it.

I still need to add a towel bar and some nice towels but it is sooo much better.
I thought I would give you a closer look at the details of the cheap plastic mirror!


I love how it turned out and for $5 , I can change my mind later if I want to.
Go over to Sarah's and check out all the creative people it will blow your mind.
Thanks for stopping by!

My garden/Flower Bed

This was the very back of our yard last summer and fall. I had better ideas.
So I talked my husband into helping me rototill that baby and it just about killed the both of us.
We had such a dry summer the ground was hard as a rock.

We moved some bushes from the front and a small tree that was by the front door.
It didn't make it...I was so hopeful but we went from a dry summer to a terrible , icy winter.

So...for Mothers Day I got a new tree!

And my maple tree is starting to bloom, and my flowers are coming in.

I can't wait to see it this summer.

And I even have one small raised vegetable bed.
I'll post pictures all summer, I can't wait to add more things.

Praying for....


DeAnn

Darci
Denae

My Girls!

This week a very angry church member said some very mean things to my girls.
They are heart broken.
I am praying that God will use this to teach them a very important lesson about words.
Words can heal or destroy.
Words can bring death or life.

This is my prayer for them....

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be pleasing in your sight,O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.
Psalm 19:14

One project done


At the beginning of the year I said I wanted to get a few projects done
and here is one of them done!
This blue bathroom is shared by three teenage girls and they hated the blue blocks.
They were peal and stick blocks.
The bathroom is tiny
and it seemed even smaller.
So I took them to Bath and Body Works and let them choose a shower curtain.
I honestly went to another part of the store and let them choose by themselves.
With a 20% off coupon and 5$ off coupon in hand I let them have free reign.
The only stipulations is that we were not painting that tiny space red or black.






It turned out really cute.
We painted the walls a creamy white, much better to put on makeup with.
Then green for an accent.
I painted the picture frames and found some scrapbook paper to give it some color.
They all love it.
It has matching rug and towels.
One project down.
