Get excited... I finally have some "home projects" to show! Actually, on second thought, don't get too excited. This first one is a tiny little fix up that took all of 10 minutes, but it just shows you what a quick coat of spray paint can do to transform an item. First I have one last What I Wore from the Cape...
Our last day up there was spent on Martha's Vineyard in Edgartown, which is one of my faaaavorite places to stroll around. The homes are out-of-this-world beautiful as if straight out of Veranda or House Beautiful, and there are the most picturesque hydrangeas you will ever lay your eyes on overflowing out of every white picket fence.
Dress - J.Crew, Arm Cuff {my new obsession} - from a random store on the street that day...can't remember the name for the life of me!, Shoes - Cole Haan, Necklace - standard gold bike, of course ;)
We went swimming later that day and Squish loved it <3
Now - Home Project! My mother-in-law had some great planters in a storage unit that weren't being used and I fell in love at first sight. They were pretty dusty and dirty, but nothing a little TLC couldn't solve! I ran down to Lowe's and picked up a can of glossy black spray paint. 10 minutes later I had some brand new looking planters! While they were drying Big Squish and I went to Calloway's {*love* that place} and chose a nice mixture of several pretty plants for each. Remember: If you undertake something like this, make sure to spray paint OUTSIDE, ideally with wind blowing.

Piece of cake! Pretty good, right? I love them!
From dusty planters to rusty chairs to out-of-date lamps, spray paint is often a great and inexpensive fix for a myriad of items. The best thing: if you mess up or dislike the color, it could not be easier to have a quick re-do. Get inspired and experiment away! xoxo
obsessed with your dress!!!
