A can of Spray paint (or a few cans in my case) can do wonders when it comes to transforming something. I'm not afraid to admit that I am just mildly obsessed with this stuff. Once I start spray painting things, I can't stop. I literally think "what can I change next?". It's a problem. My husband only {kinda} jokes about it. He thinks I am a little nuts...but in a good way (I hope).
Anyhoo, on Saturday I got busy painting away while Mr. Delicious was napping and the Hubs and Capt. Crazy were swimming. The problem? The bench in our loft/landing area upstairs. The bench was free from an office closing, but it was way too traditional for my taste. I knew it had major potential though. Solution? Spray paint...DUH!

| Before (Obviously)! |
Behold the beauty that now greets me atop of the stairs. Viola!
 |
| After (isn't she pretty)?! |
 |
| The landing/loft area. She made a great addition to the space. |
* Bench (free).
* $20 in spray paint.
* I covered the cushion with an extra window panel I already had (free).
* I made the toss pillows simply by using a white Dupioni silk pillow cover, and an self- adhesive fabric Quatrefoil. I bought the materials from Joann's for $20 (with coupons). I already had the pillow inserts (free).
* Total cost to transform bench: $40 (not bad)!
While I was a little "spray happy" I decided to paint a little end table I had in storage. It now resides in my laundry/mud room and it is the perfect little table to put my sunglasses and keys when coming through the door.

| Before (not doing it for me). |
It was way too shabby chic for my taste, so I had to brighten it up. Viola!
 |
| After! Much more fun. We keep our flip flops in the storage bin (to the right) so we can easily store/grab our shoes before heading outside to play. |
 |
| The rest of the Laundry/mudroom. |
 |
| Another view. Lots more I want to do. Chandelier light fixture, paint, wallpaper.....the list never ends. |
* $5 in spray paint.
* Already had the table (free).
* Total cost for mudroom catchall table: $5 (love it)!
P.S. Is anyone else in love with spray paint as much as me?
P.P.S. Make it a great Tuesday! XoX
