Back in the saddle

I know, I know.. It's been a long time since I have posted. Lets just say that being exhausted and throwing up every night really takes away the desire to blog. But, I am happy to say that I have felt much better the last week and a half and am now ready to begin posting again.

I'm not going to attempt a 'catch-up' post.. that would be overwhelming for both of us. I will however show you a little project I did.
A few months ago I bought this lovely, yet a bit gaudy, mirror at goodwill thinking that I would paint it a fun, fresh color to give it new life and make a cool piece to hang in our home. I envisioned turquoise.

However, after perusing through the colors of spray paint at Michaels I saw something that caught my eye. It wasn't turquoise, but it made my heart flutter. A little more vintage looking. A little more throw-back. Would it work??




You bet it would. I love it. It looks great on our mantle (even though the lighting in this photo is awful)  and although we are moving in a few weeks and will no longer have a mantle or fireplace (sad face) I just know that we will find a perfect spot for this beautiful mirror.



And a little note about spray painting.. once you spray paint one thing you are hooked. Since this mirror I keep thinking about things or seeing things that I want to revamp with a can of spray paint. My almost weekly trips to goodwill with my friend Rebecca are probably not helping this cause. I haven't bought anything else yet, but let me tell you, I can see a whole lot more spray painting in my future.
