I *heart* spray paint!

In the last 24 hours, I have spray painted two picture frames and a lamp and hung roman shades.  The roman shades were bought on clearance at Home Depot for less than $10 a piece.  I’ve had them in the garage for months and finally got around to hanging them yesterday.  I like the added layer of texture behind the bold curtains.

I had some plain metal frames that were slightly blah.  I’ve needed to add color, so on a recent trip to WalMart I bought several different colors of spray paint.  I think the result is a definite improvement and gives the color punch I was after.

While I was at it, I painted this lamp orange.  I need to find a new shade.  I’ve never been crazy about the one that came with the lamp.

I also scored some grasscloth wallpaper on ebay.  I’m going to use part to wallpaper the back of the Ikea bookcase.  The rest will probably be used in the half bath downstairs.  I’ve never wallpapered before, so this might be an adventure. 

Other things on the agenda for the master bedroom:

1. Paint walls Sherwin Williams Ramie

2. Get more fabric and sew remaining 3 curtains

3. Wallpaper back of bookcase with grasscloth wallpaper

4. Find bedding that isn’t ridiculously expensive

5. Sew throw pillows

6. Get decorative full length mirror

7. Paint mirrors above dresser

8. Paint storage bench (maybe)

9. Accessorize!
