Introducing my BFF!

Spray paint is my best friend and saves me lots of money! Over the break I broke out my spray gun for some quick transformations. I was supposed to start a frame wall in my home office in August, well it's January and it just got started, I never said I was not a procrastinator. Anyway, I have had my eye out for the perfect frames for a while now and the only ones that suited me were $10 a pop; aint' happenin'! So while I was at Wal-Mart this week I came across a rack of wooden frames that were lightly stained, and cheap, so I
grabbed two 11x14's, two 8x10's and two 4x6's (What size is missing? 5x7 duh! I didn't realize this until later). Then I picked up a can of Krylon white spray paint in satin finish (and a black can too, more on that later).
Needless to say, I got my spray on! The not so cute grainy wooden frames are now satin white, and perfect! I popped some prints in them today and started working on my well awaited frame wall. Pictures to come when it's more glamorous and I get the spacing figured out which is the worst part of hanging frames by far, I have to do math? Whaaat?

My next victim was a wicker hamper that I  got for Christmas. It was deep mahogany and beautiful, but it clashed with my color scheme, so she got spray tanned painted black for more sleek look. It turned out fabulous and I am one happy girl. Did I mention that this hamper has a lid attached to it, I am hoping that this little feature will prevent the whole "over flowing laundry basket" look that is frequently on display at my house. Total cost $4.49 for the spray paint

Both little spray paint projects turned out awesome! I saved money by buying cheap wood frames and spraying them white for a total of $34, and I saved lots of time and store to store looking by painting an already perfect clothes hamper black. Apparently its not so easy to find a black wicker clothes hamper with an attached top.

This my friends, is the reason  that I love spray paint! Have you tackled a few spray painted projects over the Christmas break?

On a sad note, school starst back Thursday, YUCK! Pray for me!
