Welcome! I wanted to show you another makeover today. And of course it involves spray paint :)
My mom has been wanting to do some updates in her decor for a while but her budget is just around ZERO DOLLARS and ZERO CENTS. So of course she called on me to help her out. Boy, this is gonna be a tough one!
I figured the best place to start was (obviously) with spray paint and some accessories she already had. If you have been around here for a while, you know that I am big on updating what you have around the house with spray paint. You can go here to see some of the spray paint transformations I've made :)

I immediately knew I was going to change these candles and candlesticks first.
I used these 2 colors of spray paint from my stash. The candlesticks got Lagoon in a satin finish and the candles are finished in aluminum.
I started with the candles. They each got 2 coats.
I propped the candlesticks up to that I could get to the bottom without having to wait for them to dry and flip them over. You can see how the glossy finish looked more like a matte when it dried.
I decided to add a clear gloss coat (also Rutoleum) to the candlesticks and I think they turned out beautifully!
Enjoyed the project?

love the colour (my favourite), you've inspired me. :) I have SO many bland 'things' which could so use a makeover --and I'm really glad to see the 'matte' step and how you solved it with Rustoleum gloss coat. The finished result looks perfect!
