Spray Painters Anonymous... Hi Sugarplum!

Thank you, Tiffany, for calling this meeting. I was in desperate need of
one because it seems I've fallen off the deep end. But if hitting rock
bottom means I've got a permanently stained pointer finger, then I choose
to stay here...in my spraypainting nirvana misery.

The question isn't so much, what have I spraypainted. But rather, what
haven't I spraypainted?!

There's the obvious projects, like an outdoor
birdcage
.


And old metal
buckets
made new again.


But how about bigger projects, like beds? Oh yes, I've painted
those
, too!


I've even gone so far as to spray the handle on
my toilet
!! (Which, by the way, has handled it like a champ! Pun
intended.)



I've made peace with my addiction to spraypaint, and have started using it
for good. No sense in letting old
toys
and bad
looking clearance items
get tossed aside! No Sir, give them a shot of
paint and you've got some swanked-out decor!




Thanks Tiffany, for letting me share today. It feels good to be amongst
other, equally sick people!

Every project is so very clever!  I am heading to my boys playroom to steal some of their animals!  Thank you Cassie for sharing your illness and giving us more reason to reach for the bottle {of spray paint!}
If you are not already one of Cassie thousands of followers then you must click over to see her amazing house!  


She is in the home stretch of finishing up her family room makeover and just shared another fabulous spray painting project!

And now let us all repeat the Spray Painters Mantra:
Friends, help me source all the items I am searching for but can not find.
Give me the vision to think outside of the box and remember the can of spray paint,
and bless me with the patience to let each of the coats dry before I move on to the next step!

Cookies and coffee are in the back! =)

If you need support for your spray painting addiction and would like to "attended" a meeting 
please contact me!

We always love to know other addicts, and can always use more inspiration for our projects!

I need to remember that I don't have to get rid of all my old decor because I hate the color. This is now on my "to do list" I am going to start spray painting some stuff. I love all your tips!

The fact that amazing results are so quick and easy makes being "addicted to spray paint" so understandable! I have been in a white mood lately...painting several items at a time!

Thanks for having Cassie guest post, I love her spray painted animals, and the birdcage is so fun and bright, it makes me think spring is almost here.
