It worked. But like I said, I needed some spray paint therapy. So down came the planter and out to the backyard we went for a quick makeover.
I stuffed the inside with some cheap'o wrapping paper turned mess control paper inside of the planter since there is no need to paint the inside of the planter. It will never be seen and my ORB paint is like liquid gold to me....not trying to waste it. Here is the after:
You can even see the hammered tin effect of the planter. I didn't even notice it before when it was green. So it was nicer now, but still just OK. So that's when I decided to be ubber creative and freehand this design:
Just kidding, I told you I wasn't feeling super-duper productive. Those are just scrap booking stickers. Yep, regular ol' stickers. They are actually puff stickers, I got them from Michael's, this is what the packaging looked like:Super easy project. I buy my paint at either Wal-Mart or K-Mart for around $3-4 per can. This is what the overall after looks like:
I like it. Now if only I could get around to painting the cabinetry then we would be getting somewhere. What do you do on days when you don't feel like tackling much? Are you part of the spray paint therapy club?
Cool idea. Spray paint therapy. Who knew? I'm going to stock up on some cans so when the need arises, I'm ready to spray. Thanks for the inspiration. ~CJ
