While I've taken a break from Blogging, I haven't taken a break from getting crafty at home. My latest project is my Dining Room Do-Over. I'm slightly (Okay, VERY) obsessed with completing projects with a minimal budget to prove that design doesn't have to cost a fortune!
Although I LOVE red, I'm always drawn to blues (I'm pretty sure it's my power color) and have very little blue in my home. That is about to change...
I gave myself a $250 budget and recruited a SMOKIN' HOT handyman.
Here is my BOOOOORING dining room before
I can do ANYTHING with a can of spray paint! Seriously powerful stuff!
I started by priming and spraying painting the china cabinet that was already in the dining room. After the paint dried, I used a dry brush and an antique glaze. I also sprayed the hardware with my favorite hammered spray paint and I just LOVE the way the piece turned out!
While I was spraying my life away, my Smokin' Hot Handyman was painting the dining room walls the most beautiful teal color. Honestly, it is STUNNING!
Paint Color: Glidden Totally Teal
Now, I have used MANY paint brands and I must say that Glidden Paint and Primer in One is by far the BEST paint I have EVER used... Hands Down!
While Mr. Smokin' Hot Handyman painted the room, I sprayed the other pieces a cooridinating color.
I also sprayed the chandelier and added some of the antique glaze. I sprayed the shades as well... See, I can do ANYTHING with spray paint!
I added a few pieces that I already had around the house.
And Wah-Lah!
This project came in just slightly under the $250 budget with paint, spray paint, brushes and decorative pieces. I will added a few more pieces soon, but that's how design works... always evolving!
