Spray Paint Projects

     Moving can be really expensive, especialy if you decide to change your decor/color scheam.  These changes can be expensive even if your not moving.  One way you can save is to make over/reporpouse things that are still useful.  Lately for me spray paint has been my friend.  From old bins and baskets,  to push pins and comand hooks.  So far I have given all of these items spray make over, and here are some of the finished results.

     My favorite colors to use right now are copper, and rose gold.  I would have just gone with bronze for everything, but I can't find it as spray paint anywhere.  The paint was only about $6 a can, and I'm still not out of paint yet.  The bins I picked up at the dollar store a couple years ago, and the baskets were thrift shop finds/hand me down items.  I don't have any of the comand hooks or push pins in this picture, but alot of those I have accumulated over the years as well.  All in all this is a very cost effective way give your storage and utility pieces a unified look/make over.
     As a side note I would like to point out that if you are only looking to change, say a handful of push pins.  It maybe cheeper to shop around for small office supplies, as new ones could be cheeper than spray paint.  This is only going to be a cost effective project if the price of all new pieces, is higher than the combined cost of materials.

Finally

     Sorry about the posting drought there, we were finally able to move.  My Roommate was thinking we should go with a different internet provider, so I didn't have internet until we settled on that.  As it is things have been rather chaotic, and busy.  I didn't really get to start unpacking my stuff until last night.  I'm allowed to make changes to the backyard, and set up an actual garden!  I am so excited to get to do some "landscaping" with my yard.  I've already began making a compost barrel out of a trashcan, and plotting out spots for different plants.  I've also been working on small projects for around the house, to help with getting things settled.  I'm going to work on making some project specific posts to share, but those probably won't be up for a bit.  Well that's all I can think of for now, really just wanted to give a quick update to let everyone know I'm still here.
