Spray Paint is My New Best Friend

So I just recently discovered my love of spray paint--especially oil rubbed bronze spray paint. I have used it before to paint shelves, frames, etc., but you can use it on so much more. I am using it all over my house. Here are 2 of my projects. I will post more projects later. When we put in our chandelier, the ceiling was damaged around the hole and the top did not cover it. We went to Lowes and picked up a small, white ceiling medallion. I spray painted it with my oil rubbed bronze and then we put it up. I think it looks great--it blends in well and you don't even know it is not part of the chandelier.

Another project is my outdoor lights. The ones I really wanted were about $50. I need 6 lights, so that was not gonna happen! I found these lights that were $12.50 each--a much better option. I don't like them near as much, but they still look nice. When I bought them they were this cheap looking aluminum things. I spray painted them, again with my oil rubbed bronze, and they turned out great. Here is the before and after:

Wow...I didn't know you could spray paint so much and that there was a spray paint that looks so good! I am kind of upset that you tell me that you have a new best friend over a post though. Sniff.

I agree that spray paint is a great thing! Matt and I just started a project using regular paint and I'm really wishing we would have used spray paint!! We would probaby be done now if we had!
