Guess what?!? Easter is this Sunday! As in . . . like, 4 days from now. Guess what else? I have nothing ready. Not a ding-dong thing. I take that back – I now have a cutie-patootie bunny & chick tray that took less than 15 minutes to paint. Yep – less than 15 minutes […]
Super Spray Paint! Part 1 – Krylon
Chances are, you have a can or two of spray paint hanging around, right? If there’s a quicker and cheaper way to paint something, I don’t know what it is. And once the temperature gets above 55 degrees (I’m in No. Calif.) it’s definitely time for Super Spray Paint! You might think there is nothing […]
Decorating the Mantel for Valentine’s Day
How do you decorate after the holidays? Do you leave everything bare, or bring in natural elements? Or do you just dive into RED for Valentine’s Day? I have never decorated for Valentine’s Day. Ever. When my kids were young they were lucky if I made it to the dollar store to pick up valentine’s […]

Spray Paint Patio Chairs

Patriotic Tea Light Lampshade
I love this project so much! I think you will too because it’s really quick, easy & cheap! Start with a goblet. I get mine at the Dollar Store. There are different sizes of goblets, which affect how the shade will sit. So getting the shade the right size is a bit of trial […]
