it's finally garage sale season!
much to my hubs vexation!
i try to remind him that i'm SAVING money and all these pieces of trash will soon turn to treasures.
all it takes is a little primer.
and some pretty colored spray paint!
and there you have it!
inexpensive, quick and rewarding.

Love this. such a simple reminder about how important it is to recycle things that are old and turn them into something new...it is also important to look for new ways to use traditional items. Thanks for the reminder Michelle.

This idea will be perfect for a blank wall in my bedroom. The wall is a relaxing deep muddy color. I'm thinking random object all painted in a crisp white would really pop off the wall. Thanks for the inspiration!

I looked this up. Totally painting some vases that don't work in the new house with the color that they are. Thanks again for the idea Michelle~! We moved in our new house 3 weeks ago. ~kate
