Change needed.

January 18, 2011 by Michelle Hinckley |

I’ve got the winter blues.

The kind of blues where the cold makes everything feel stark and drab.

Life could use some brightening.

Something that says “hot and flashy.”

Ahhh. Now that’s better.

Who knew the cure to the winter doldrums was contained in a can of spray paint?

    That’s awesome! Can you tell us what the wipe on poly is used for? Did you just spray the red over what was there?
    Thanks!

    It’s nothing like a little change, that’s why I love spray paint because it makes it so easy.

    The chairs look great!
    Are you doing the spraying and applying the polyurethane or is the hubs? I’m pregnant too and have been wondering about the safety of using both of those products… I have many a thing that could use a coat of paint or polish…
