...and spray painting it.
Being inspired by several creative bloggers, I have been on a treasure hunt in my own home looking for things that would benefit from a redo. I found this little candle holder and decided it would fit into my decorating scheme better if a different color. I forgot to get a "before" picture but I also forgot to paint the bottom of it, so there's no doubt what it looked like before, bright, shiny, metallic-looking gold.
And here's what I'm still working on when I get away from my spray painting for a while. I've got the blocks all made, now for putting them together. I'm making this into an afghan for the camper. The blocks are not all pink, those are just the ones that crawled to the top for the picture on this Pink Saturday.
I want to thank Beverly for sponsoring Pink Saturday and for featuring my blog this week. I want to welcome anyone that is visiting here for the first time. Please leave me a comment. I love meeting new friends!
I need a spray paint day. I've put off all my projects for too long.
ReplyDeleteHi :) Sweet little candle holder! Don't you just love spray paint! Did you know that Krylon now has one that you don't have to use a primer first, it has the primer right in it...it's called Krylon Fusion, and I LOVE IT!! I love the Dover white :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Warmest hugs, Brenda
Sherry, I have that same basket! Love your granny squares! Have a great weekend! Twyla
ReplyDeleteOops! I didn't know that you needed to prime anything before you spray painted. I have many things I'd like to revamp but just can't get up the motivation to tackle them. I've been doing a lot of crocheting too. Enjoying my last free days of summer before returning to school. Have a great weekend. Tammy
ReplyDeletePretty pink candle in it's holder and really pretty pink afghan squares! Happy Pink Saturday, Sherry~
ReplyDeleteIsn't it fun to remake something old and feel like you have something brand new?The pink afghan should look great.

I need a lot painting around here spray or brush. It is such a job and mess. You did very well on your project. Your afghan will be very pretty when finished. They are nice in the winter time.
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday Sherry! What a great redo project! I have some old shiney "gold" items that could benefit from a coat of paint too. Have a great weekend, Nan

I have been thinking of trying my hand at painting a few things I have found at the GW....I thank the candle holder turned out good. Trish
ReplyDeleteGood morning sweet Sherry. We got back home late Friday night from being gone for a week. I am sorry to be so late but didn't want to miss you.
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with the candle holder. White looks wonderful. I have many brass items and have thought of painting them also. I just can't decide on a color. Your project is perfect and I bet you enjoy the holder now more than before.
I can't wait to see the finished project with the squares. The colors are lovely, Happy Pink Saturday my friend, Char

ReplyDeleteHappy very belated Pink Saturday, Sherry. I hope you enjoyed being one of the featured blogs.
ReplyDeleteIt is fun when we find things that benefit from a facelift. We are working on a change to our kitchen island now.
That is going to be one gorgeous afghan.
