Really.

I’ve lived in this kitchen for three years and many other kitchens before that…..and none of them had ever seen a roast.

Until recently.Continue reading

8 Fun and Easy Spray Paint Projects

8 Fun and Easy Spray Paint Projects

We did it.

Take your bow.

We  proved that spray paint is taking over the world.

We sprayed pumpkins and chairs and desks and bookcases and flowers and baskets and even a chandelier or two.

There were so many amazing entries that inspired us and impressed us and overwhelmed us and made us never want to pick up a brush again and to move all of our life savings into spray paint company stock.

 

Here were a few of our favorite entries:Continue reading
