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.
