A little POP of color!

I've been getting in touch with my creative side lately! haha, I'm not very creative. But seriously, I think I've found an outlet of some sort. It's been kinda stressful around here lately with just life in general and I have been doing lots of interior decorating, spray painting, updating to the house and I've got a list started of projects (big and small) that we're going to slowly start to work on in order to update the house. It NEEDS it!! I'm having a ton of fun and it's nice to have something to do that's just "me" time! I think my husband thinks I've gone a little crazy! ;)


I went to Menard's last night and looked through the Clearance isle. Found some spray paint and some chalkboard paint. I've been wanting to make a big chalkboard lately to hang in the kitchen. So, I started small just to see how this stuff works, and this is what I came up with......

I took an old frame that was sitting in a cupboard not being used, spray painted it Candy Apple Green (one of the cans I found at Menard's last night), sanded it down a little to give it a distressed look and then sprayed the glass with the chalkboard paint! I like......

Then I took this old glass vase that I did not like and also wasn't using..........

And sprayed it too, much better.

Oh, and last but not least, I found this AWESOME pitcher at a garage sale a couple weekends ago for $3. Can't beat that. It's heavy and beautiful. The lady said to me "I just bought it at Dillard's for $39.99 and didn't want it anymore". Are you kidding me? People are strange. =)

PS - Neither the chalkboard frame or the glass vase were Erica originals....hence the "not very creative" part, I steal all my ideas! ;) Blogland is full of oh-so-cool stuff!!
