another one bites the dust

Conde Nast announced on the 28th that Domino magazine is closing. March will be the last issue.

I am so disappointed. Domino is one of my favorite magazines. I just renewed my subscription at the end of December and I bought a gift subcription for my sister for Christmas. Sorry about that Alison! I thought that it was a gift that would give a little longer.

RIP Domino, you'll be missed.

spray paint is my friend

the first thing i ever spray painted was the locks on my windows. this was back in 2005, when we had just moved in.

who wants to spend $75 on new hardware for windows that are over 30 years old when a $3 can of spray paint can do the job?



recently i have had a few more spray paint projects:

1- the little orange votive and the blue candle sticks were all tarnished brass. i bought them at a Habitat for Humanity Restore for 50 cents each.


























2- these white vases i got at a local store for 87 cents each.











i painted one orange because i love orange and the other red to go with my valentine decor.





3- i got this pewter footed bowl at a local consignment store for $3. i actually liked the pewter but i am trying to add more color to my home so i decided to go ahead and paint it. i am really happy with how it turned out. i think it might be my favorite so far. it makes a perfect place to store our keys.
