The Wonders of Paint ~ It's Money in the Bank!

 

There are soooo many things you can do with paint to update and change your surroundings and decor, besides smear it on walls.  

 

painted lampI had almost bought new lamps very similar to these.  The ones most like these are priced from $80 to $100 each.  I just couldn't find exactly what I wanted.. and I am so glad that I didn't.  I ran across these at Thrift Store (Yes, I frequent Thrift shops, you just never know what you're going to find) for $2.00 each.  They were originally turquoise in color.  They are missing shades but all of the hardware is there and the electrical part works fine.  

 

I had used some stone texture paint on some French Doors in the past and loved how they turned out... so I knew when I saw these lamps, what I wanted to do.  Five Bucks at Walmart got me a can of three tone stone texture paint.  Cleaned the lamps, and sprayed, let dry and Voila!  I'm considering covering some lamp shades in burlap to finish off the look that I want.  

 

Paint can be used to:

  • Paint Lamp Shades
  • Change the color of appliances with appliance paint.
  • Make a wall or the side of a filing cabinet into a chalk board with chalk board paint.
  • Change the color filing cabinets with paint.
  • Fabric paint of custom designs on decor or clothing
  • Create Halloween pumpkins in colors with faces painted, instead of carving jack-o-lanterns. 
  • Change the color of vases with paint.
  • Painted wine bottles in a decorative display are the very very!
  • Of course, wall art of different venues not just paintings.. but painted sayings on barn wood or similar things.
  • Designs painted onto the walls such as a family tree painted on the wall and then photographs hung on the wall looking like they are hanging in the tree.
  • Paint Kitchen Cabinets and/or doors
  • Change the color of the brick on a home with Paint

The list can go on and on and on.. almost anything can be changed with paint!  It's a great way to change up and freshen up your environment!  Looking for ways to bring an updated look to your home when getting it ready to sell?  Think Paint!  Just bought a home and your budget is a little tight for furnishing it?  Think Paint!   Haven't found the perfect house yet?  Think Integrity Real Estate Services!  Thinking about selling your home and want to work with an agent that thinks outside the box?  Call the Integrity Team!  Don and Judi Barrett 580-212-5946.
