A touch of color...

A touch of color is normally a good thing.....


but a touch of color using spray paint, painter's tape and a drop cloth is a WONDERFUL thing!

And the young one loves it!!  Score!!

One small throw pillow down, two large ones to go... and the room "remodel" is under way!

Now to convince said young one that a change is paint color would really do wonders for HIS room.  Yes he now has his very own room, all to himself... and he is loving it!  In fact all three boys have their own rooms now.  It did mean giving up the spare/guest/craft room but that is okay as they are all at an age when having a small bit of space to themselves is a good thing.

  3. You spray painted a pillow? I didn't know that was possible.

    1. We have a tendency to try spray paint on all surfaces at least once.... sometimes it works, sometimes not. I used a very light coat of spray paint, more like a brief misting, which produced a light enough coat to not make the surface hard. My son loves the pillow and uses it all the time while reading books.
