Did you know it's possible to spray paint in sub-freezing weather if you're crazy impatient desperate motivated enough? Hint: It involves my warm laundry room, a quick dash outside and an even faster retreat inside and an exhaust fan.
I have a secret to painting things red (like my vintage iron bed and my puppy planter.) I get a nice glowing cheery red by first painting my piece white. Much easier than still seeing a shadowy darkness to your red after applying coat after coat after coat of red!
My wooden R-Y-E (fifty cents each at GW)...
have now been joined by a red metal "m" and "r" (Michaels closeout). The spray paint and red acrylic paint couldn't have been a closer match if I'd planned it!
Yes, it's mERrY at our house. This project's done, finished, photographed in the last snow of the year, crossed off the to-do list and put away in one of the Christmas bins.
And it's so delightful to discover that my auto-post didn't auto-post on Monday. Better someday than never, eh!
Merrily,
