The power and beauty of spray paint...

In preparing for the craft fair I have been collecting potential accessories to revamp. It always amazes me the way a coat or two of spray paint can transform a piece. So far I have several frames (I'm guessing around 20) like the ones shown below in varying sizes and detail completed. Of course this was the "before" shot. I'll have to show the "after" look in their finished ivory shabby glory but my friend has them right now so she can cut some glass for them. Then there are even more fun things like these clay pots just screaming for a makeover.
And some more frames...I should have just about every size and color by the time I'm through with these :)
even candlesticks (these were given to a friend for her birthday, although I would have loved to have kept them for myself ;)

And then there are little tables like this one I picked up for $2 from a neighbor with some antiques thrown together for a one of a kind look.

There truly is no end to my madness when it comes to a can of spray paint. What have you been painting lately?
