Wooden Mail Organizer

I bought this from TJ Maxx or Marshalls a couple of years ago, before I was even engaged to be married. I fell in love when I saw it. I was so tempted to buy each matching piece. I absolutely LOVED the color, but found when I got married that it really didn't suit our home. It's kind of a minty green.

So I spray painted it red (Cherry Red in gloss by Red Devil - Big Lots)! My husband REALLY loves it and so do I! It matches our decor perfectly and sits on the kitchen counter to hold our mail. I will eventually go back and distress it, but for now I'm just enjoying the color and usefulness of it!


Of course, if I ever wanted to change it back or to a different color, all I have to do is paint it!

All I Wanna Do.....is Spray Paint

It's true. My hearts desire since I found Kimba's blog has been to spray paint. I love going to thrift stores and finding the neatest little things in need of updating, and creating a vision for them. Only one thing......I can't spray paint now. Nope, in one month I'll be getting married and moving into an apartment with my husband, until then no spray painting.

The thing is, I really can't have a proper vision until I have seen the apartment more than once. Then I need to figure out which slipcovers we'll be using for our loveseat and couch, and which curtains we'll hang. Sigh....now you can see my dilemma.

Until then...all the spray paints will remain in their grocery bags, and my thrifty treasures will remain all over my now-bedroom floor and the rest packed in storage (only because they beat the other "finds" there first).

One month and I'll be a spray painting beauty queen!

YAY!

Do you get into spray painting? If so, what is your MOST treasured piece?

Also, any hints or secrets for me when I begin my new journey? What things do I need for my Spray Painting Tool Box?
