::more before & after::

Megan was right. Once you start spray painting furniture it's hard to stop. Last week we did some more.
We have an old desk that we don't like. In fact, a couple of times we've almost gotten rid of it. After painting the TV stand we thought we would try painting the desk and see if it helped. Blue this time!



I don't have a before for the desk--Kris was too quick at getting it started. But it was just old brown particle board basically.
Max got in trouble for something, I have no idea what he did now, but I know he did some time out in the garage. Little stinker.


I was sitting out in a camping chair on the driveway watching the spray painting. It was extremely entertaining actually. Watching that paint go on and the color change is super satisfying.
After Max was excused from time out he and Sultan came and sat with me too.

And no, Max isn't pulling Sultan's ear like it appears. He's making it so Sultan looks like he's "listening." Max thinks it's cute so it happens a lot at our house.

When Kris was about done with the desk I thought of another item that would benefit from some cheering up. It's a little side table thing that we've had forever. We've used it for a zillion things, moved it a zillion times and it's just beaten up and tired.
Here's your before:

It has a drawer too, but the drawer was already out and painted at this point.

Kris is getting to be an expert spray-painter, and Sultan doesn't mind the fumes. (Can you see him there in the shadows? He's all camouflaged.)

Afters:

The desk is WAY more fun and interesting now. And the spray paint finish won't last forever, but neither will the desk, so it's all good.

It's hard to see the color on this one because of the bright evening sun, but doesn't this little table have so much more character now? I like to look at it. The blue makes me happy.

So there's some more "home improvement through spray paint" for you. We like to do it. Now what else can we spray......?
