More on those later. They have future homes in the loft/office decor that I've got in mind. And, yes, Rachael, I will finally put a picture in the recycled keyboard frame that's been sitting empty on the desk since I bought it in October 2010. You're welcome. ;-)
For now: My first attempt at spray painting!!!! (Note: This is pretty much stolen directly from Emily's blog. Gracias!!!)
I found this frame and immediately recognized it's spray-painted potential.
I also found a few cans of black spray paint in the basement. So, the total cost of this particular project? A whopping $0.99.
A little spray paint and a "d" printed straight from Word. Voila!
It will one day have a home in previously mentioned loft/office decor.
Next up: Framing an old peseta (the currency in Spain before they went to the euro) and framing some street maps of Oviedo (where I studied abroad) and Nagasaki (where Darrin studied abroad). And I should probably stop using colons in my blog posts: 'cause I'm 100% sure that I never use them correctly.
Several of you have mentioned your love for spray paint to me. I'm officially hooked. Shamelessly addicted to spray paint.
as a grammar/punctuation freak, i'm happy to tell you that you used the colon correctly.
ReplyDeletealso, now that you and emily have both done this project, i'm very tempted to try it -- once all the wedding aftermath is over. (We're still unpacking boxes, on last round of thank yous, combining two homes into one very small apartment....)
I love it!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing it in its final home ('cause you KNOW you have to post about that loft/office when it's done, now that you mentioned it... :) ) Looks great!
LOVE it! I might have to steal that idea!! Also, I can't wait to finally see an actual picture in the keyboard frame :D.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see you on Friday!

Told you spray painting is addictive! I'm always looking around the house wondering "what else could I spray?" the "d" looks great, too bad my "o" would look pretty boring!
