Hello, my name is Tiffany and I am still a spray paint addict! I am so much an addict, my friends bring over glass vases they aren't going to use anymore and ask me to spray paint them so they will use them!
I have noticed a huge explosion of color lately and if you open Pinterest, on any page you will see color blocking. I like the look of it... I am not sure if I could carry it off in my personal wardrobe, but I certainly can do it in home decor!
Admittedly I actually like all of the clothes here, and I might actually wear these. After looking at these bottles I thought why not color block them!
I used the colors I had on had, but there option are unlimited!
Once the first color is applied let it cure for 24 hrs. Or if you are impatient like me, turn on the portable heater and set them in front of it for a couple hours. Next tape off where you would like to start the next color. After a straight line is formed, cover the top a plastic bag and more tape.
No glass vase is safe! And I can see my spray paint color selection growing in the next couple of weeks!

Hi Savvy readers! I'm so glad to be back to share a quick little
organizing tip with you!
A few years ago I consolidated all of our appliance and product
manuals in one location. I used this cute little hanging file
basket (I think I got it from Pier One eons ago). I created a
hanging folder for several general categories...Large Appliances,
Small Kitchen Appliances, Baby Toys and Products, Computer and
Printer, Outdoor Tools, Textiles, and Misc. Often comforters,
tablecloths, scarves, and other linens have big labels,
so when I carefully cut them off, I tape the label to a piece of paper and
jot down what it belongs to. Now, when we need to reference a
manual to change a setting, or to disassemble for cleaning, or
whatever, we know just where to find it.
Simply tape your receipts to their manual, and if you need to return
something, you're all set.
And if we sell or donate something, it's super easy to find the
manual to send along with it. Of course, you could certainly
apply this theory to a few folders within a larger file cabinet, or to
whatever filing system you already use. Try it out!
Thanks for having me, Tiffany! You're the best!
p.s. Today on my blog I'm sharing our master bedroom...I had
mentioned it in my guest post here a couple weeks ago...come see!
Great tip Cate! I have just started a system like this! I love the idea of keeping the receipts with the manual!

Those are fabulous...and might I say this is the first I've seen of this idea! Pinning for sure!!
Love this idea! Thanks Tiffany I see that you didn't follow my advice.....take it easy and relax :) Have a great weekend!
Love it! I may just have to do this...
I took a closer look at the pictures. Are you painting the inside of these as well?
Love the look of these colorblocked vases! You picked great colors. You have some lucky friends if they will be taking these home!
I really like those color blocked vases Tiffany! And using a beautiful basket instead of a box or file cabinet is so much better for paperwork!
You are such a trendy gal. Love the vases!
Great organizing tips as well. Have a great weekend!

Love this post Tiffany! Awesome inspiration...especially your vases!
XO, Aimee
I love those! I'm pinning them now, color blocking is so in. I can only pull it off it is a pants-shirt-sweater way, not just horizontal lines on one item:)
those are so cool! i love the two toned look on these!
Genius! Such a simple way to add interest. I'm giving this a try asap!

Oooh. I love the vase with the dark blue bottom and light blue top. I'll have to give that a try.

Love those color block vases! And great tip for storing manuals!
Amazeballs!! Those vases are awesome! I am so stealing this idea from you. :)
I'm so impressed, it looks like you bought those vases at some high end designer store. I love they way they turned out. I am thinking I have to give that a try. Thanks for the tutorial!
Are you kidding!?! These are AMAZING! I am going to give this a try too...I just can't get enough of your blog!
Spray painting is definitely addictive and I love your new colorblock ideas - any colors can be combined instantly. Great tip with the manuals. I have 3 large folders with everything divided up - makes for quick access when something needs repair.
Wow, that is fabulous. I'm so glad I found your blog. I'm a new LF and GFC follower so I don't miss any more great ideas. I would love if you stopped by and followed back so we can stay connected. Lori @ www.bleak2unique.com
