PAINT PARTY!!!

It's Time to Celebrate the
Wonders of Spray Paint!

I've showed you my
"paint outside the black box" projects.
Now it's time to show off yours.

It will be fun to see all the
different colors you've chosen,
including our favorites, white and black.
(Yes, it's fine to show off something black)
I'm as excited as a kindergarten girl
opening a new box of crayons!

Let's start clicking and commenting!

    Oh, fun! I'm using a post from June when I did a tutorial on painting furniture black. Black spray paint has been my best friend for many years now & I still have a few cans hanging around. Can't wait to see what everyone else has done!

    Hi Joy! I'm here for the party! I cheated and reused an old project because my most recent spray paint project was in fact black. I guess need a 12 step program or something.

    Hi. I've enjoyed seeing all the projects. I'd love to join in, but I've never spray painted anything (except for the primer). I have several projects waiting for a sunny day so I can try my hand at spray painting. They're all black or white though ;-) Thanks for the inspiration!

    Hi I came over from Jen's Sanctuary Arts at Home since she said you're having a paint party. I paint practically everything - I'll have to dig up an old project so I can join in!

    So glad you had this little shindig! I had fun using some other colors....(I have used other colors before really I have)but I was getting into a bit of a rut with the black...rofl. I still like it though...and I bet you do too. I got the little enamel family sign from 7 gypsies scrapbooking line. cherry

    I'm actually "Allen's Mom"-#50. Allen is 13 years old. I never posted about his dresser, but he did. So I put his blog address. The finished product looks better than the picture. Allen wasn't careful about the lighting when he took it.
    I've enjoyed looking!

    #51 is the bed to match the dresser in #50.

    Outside the black box. I love it. I found my new favorite color. It is called peekaboo blue. It is kind of a periwinkle color. Happy spraypainting.
