Simplest Redo

One of the easiest, most inexpensive ways to redo something is "SPRAY PAINT"!  I love spray paint!  It's easy, quick, inexspensive and really does have great results if done the right way.

As you know, I want teal and red in my kitchen/living room area.  The vase and planter pot I have does not fit this new color scheme.  I want to use what I have to make it work.  I do not want to buy new items. Easy solution? My handy dandy spray paint!

Here I have taken my simple vase and pot and transformed them into items I can use again.

1. Pick your color.
2. Prep your working area.  Work in a very ventilated area, cover with newspaper, and buy a mask for your face (spray paint is nasty to breath in).
3. Make sure you give your item(s) a nice light sanding so that the spray paint has something to hold on to.
4. Start spraying carefully.  Always spray in short even strokes.  Do not spray upside down. Do one coat at a time to ensure no dripping or over painting. 
5. Let first coat dry.
6. Apply second coat.
7. It's that easy, you are done.
