Hello folks,
Glad to be back with a DIY post. My first one! Heheeeey!
This one is a very easy technique and it can change the entire interior of your home.
I love spray paint, because it can transform any old object into a completely new and modern designer pieces and as I said, it is so easy to do.
Also sometimes if you are searching for a particular color, it is sometimes hard to find exactly the combination of the shape and the color and the size that you want. Using a spray pain you only need to concentrate on the size and shape and you can change the color for any color you need.
Here I have a few pieces, that i needed to upgrade:
There is a very old table from my grandpa, it is a bit too dark for my balcony, so I want to add some color on the glass surface. (I already have pulled out the brown glass part and prepared it for the spray paint):
This one is a tray or a plate, I'm not exactly sure what it's called, I guess the tray for candles from IKEA. It is in white, I wanted to use it for my perfumes in bedroom, so I need to paint it in gold, for it to match the interior of the room.
And finally a little bonus , I decided last minute to paint it, that's why I forgot to take a picture of it before that, but this is a jewelry holder/tree from Amazon. It was dark grey color, I figured, gold would look so much better in my bed room. This is the image i managed to pull out from my Amazon order:
Let's start with the table. Here I'm using 2 different spray colors: silver and lavender. I chose an easy way to create a pattern using masking tape. Before spraying, make sure to cover the surface of the area thoroughly, because it sprays all over the place, best is to do it outside. I didn't have an opportunity to do that, so I ended up cleaning up after using some cotton balls and acetone:
After spraying just let it dry for a bit. The most wonderful thing is, that this paint dries very quickly.
Then you just remove the tape and enjoy the result:
With the tray it was even more easy, just spray one side, let it dry, turn over spray the other side, let it dry and you are all done!
And here is the result!
Exactly the same thing with the jewelry tree. The only difficulty was, that since the texture is so uneven it was hard to cover it with the paint evenly. So just take your time and spray it with a very thin layer, so that you don't create the drops:
And see how cutie it came out!!!
Last thing i would like to mention about this technique, that you should be careful with the chose of paint. I chose the one that it's pretty strong, but it did have a reaction with one of my perfumes, that leaked, so it dissolved the paint layer a bit. Next time I'll try to use another more durable paint.
Thanks so much guys.
Hope this post have inspired you and helped to learn something new!
Love ya'll!!!
Your Miss Vee!
