Paint Party

Joy at Joys of Home is having a Paint Party where you're supposed to show off what you've done with spray paint. Bonus points if you use something other than black. No bonus points for me though...I've just begun the spray paint phase of my life and have only used black thus far! I have to say, I'm very impressed with how easy it is to use spray paint and definitely see more spray paint in my future!

I posted these pictures back at the beginning of the summer, but I'm still thrilled with the "after", so I'm sharing them again. I'm anti-oak (despite my oak kitchen cabinets...that's another project waiting to happen!) and just love the look of these now that they're painted black. They match my iron chandelier much better now!

Here's the before picture...including drying laundry!

And here is the after picture...what a difference! I painted the candleholders as well as the mirror frame.

And here is the view from my front door...well, this was the view--I've made some decorating changes, but this is basically what it looks like now.
