Getting It Done

I had a very productive day yesterday using paint!

First, I want to share some of the FANTASTIC finds I got while visiting my parents in Orlando. One of my mom and I's favorite shops was having a huge sale and I got tons of cheap finds!

I thought this set of three fruit pictures was cute for over the kitchen door.



I got these mirrors that hold candles (not yet). I love how old world they look! I am still looking for a large round object to go over the tv.



And this cute little bucket organizer. I think it would be adorable with milk glasses in it holding flowers for a party, or herbs--endless possibilities!



I fell in love with chalkboard paint yesterday!



First I taped off the red bucket...and painted...twice.



After removing the tape I have a chalkboard area to write on! Yay! Now I can write all kinds of fun messages like "party, or love, or, family, or home" for any occasion!



I made a chalkboard for our guest room with a mirror we had left over from our bathroom renovation! I am so glad I saved it :). It will be fun to write our to-do lists on.



Finally, I tackled the lamp. I really dislike brass. I don't know what it is, but I just don't like it!



I do, however, love those lion heads. HA! My husband was in a fraternity and their mascot was a lion, so of course he loves them too.



So, I spraypainted it with my trust Rustoleum bronze spray paint...twice. And it looks AWESOME! I already had the shade too, bonus!



I am feeling very proud of myself, as you can tell. Now leave some love!
