Spray paint to the rescue

Just a quick post about some household items that I gave a facelift to with spray paint.



The chair was painted a chartreuse green, and covered with some upholstery fabric from my mom's Interior Design company. I was very inspired by the embroidered fabric, and this green goes really well.

The large rectangular frame was painted a deep purple. It's not very showy, but I found it in the trash. So anything is an improvement.

The small oval frame was painted a light blue and turned into a jewelry display. I used cardboard from a shipping box as the backing, covering it with a cream colored paper. I hand painted the flower detail to make them stand out. Tiny pins allow for dainty necklaces to hang. I just pushed the brooch pins through the cardboard. 

Hope this inspires you to take a second look at some of your old furniture and give it some love.

Tea Party Bridal Shower

Last weekend my mom, sisters and I threw a bridal shower for my cousin's fiance. Did you catch all that? 
My mom got out her battenburg lace tablecloths and place mats, as well as her vintage floral hand painted cups, saucers, plates and vases. She also made all of the food from scratch, even the cookie favors. Her house looks like it's from a magazine anyway, but I supplied the pom poms and various other paper decor. All in all, it was a lovely day in Dana Point.
