Eat your heart out, Pottery Barn!

If you were walking through a thrift store, would you give this little lantern a second glance? I'm sure that you would if you're like me and you know that a little bit of spray paint would transform it.

Have you looked at the lanterns at Pottery Barn and Ballard? I have and I love them, but those things are expensive!

Remember that you don't have to be crafty to push the nozzle of a spray paint can. Even less so if you have one of these awesome gadgets that I talked about in my post here.
Look at things for how they can look after you've spent a little bit of time on them. Cleaning, repairing and painting an item can make it go from blah to beautiful!
