1) I wear shorts
2) I bust out the spray paint
Today I did both!
There are a few things that I've been wanting to transform with paint but the weather has been too damp. Lucky for me, the sun was shining bright today so I lined them up outside and got busy. I've got another coat to put on my goodies and then I'll show you the end result. I'm telling ya, black spray paint has become my new best friend.
I wanted to show you my inspiration piece for the room make-over I plan on doing. I'm taking my time and doing it right so I really don't have much to share at this point. It will be painted the same beige that we have in the rest of the house and we'll be saying good-bye to the pretty yellow that I painted when little sis was in about 6th grade. The yellow has held up well but it's time for a change. I plan on using neutrals with splashes of black, and who knows, maybe some aqua too. It will also be getting new carpet soon. Last week I found this print at Target and knew this was the inspiration I needed.
Aren't the colors soothing! I already had the 2 little cast iron birds so along with this new print, I've decided on a theme for the room as well. Yep, birds!

Love the colors. They are wonderful You are right... very soothing.
I love the print and the birds are so cute with it! The room will look great!
No shorts here -just snow!
Did you say you were wearing shorts??? Please tell me that was a typo! It was on the chilly side here yesterday, so I would have been freezing in a pair of shorts!
I really love your bird print, Linda! Just my style. I can't wait to see what you're going to do with your room!
one of my best friends spray paints every thing she can hold down, black, linda!!! she had to take a break, though, because she was getting "spray paint finger"... her pointer went numb:b
i think your room idea sounds great, and aqua will be a really nice complimentary color!!!
love,
dani
I can't wait for shorts and spray painting weather to arrive here...I have several things I want to work on!
That sounds fantastic. Love the colors too. Glad you are warm. We are still freezing.
I love spring and we are in shorts today too!

How encouraging, Spring is coming!
It's been in the 60's the last couple of days, the melted snow is running rivers down our street. I love it!
I can't wait to see how your 'new' room turns out.
I'm excited to see your creativity as you tackle this project! I'm working on a room now too that is presenting some challenges so maybe I can get some ideas from you. I LOVE the painting! Have fun!
I love your new colors! That print is really pretty and serene. Spray paint is a decorators best friend!
Hugs, Sharon
wow --that should probably end up really cool. The photo for the color/theme inspiration is great. What does little sis think about you re-vamping her room?? I am anxious to see what you are spray painting!!
Oh that print is lovely. I can't wait to see the progress.
I am so ready for spring! Not quite shorts weather here though.
I love that print with the birds by it! Cute!
Now that is a pretty inspiration piece...I love the colors. I can see this has great potential. Can't wait to see the finished project!
I LOVE that print and the little birdies. I can't wait to see the room come all together. We are going to be in the 70's for a couple more days here....LOVE it!
Love it! I love spray painting things too. And this warm weather makes me SHOP for shorts (lol).
