Sprucing up for Summer!


I haven't had a lot of time to devote to blogging lately.  Crazy things are happening in my life (I'll post about that soon since you're probably on the edge of your seat!) so I haven't been able to post or even more importantly, visit all of my favorite blogs out there!  Sitting down at my computer for a while to visit blog-land is...glorious!  The problem that I have is that one blog leads to another and well, you know...


Since I haven't done anything spectacular just recently, I thought that I'd at least share with you how much better my wicker chairs look since I finally got around to giving them a coat of fresh paint!  I have 2 wicker chairs on my front porch that I walk past every day, several times a day.  They were bugging me with their sun faded ugliness.  Since I have such a fascination for the color black, it was a given that it would be the color I would choose.


It took quite a few coats to cover them and sometimes when I walk by them, I still see a place that I missed.  That can of black spray paint is usually within arms reach so that I can give it a quick touch up.  I also gave my cushions a "bath" to freshen them up also.  While I had my paint out, I decided to give the plant stands a little boost as well.  No before picture.  I couldn't wait long enough to get one, but just take my word for it,  they look WAY better now too!


If your super busy like I am right now, consider just giving something a boost of color to make it feel refreshed and new.  It's a quick and simple way to at least help you feel as though you're getting more accomplished! It makes the craziness in life seem a little bit more bearable!
