Did you know you can spray paint plates? Well you can!! :) I spent forever this weekend looking for new plates for the plate rack above my dining room table, and came up with nothing (well, nothing that costed less than $8 a pop!) However, Tai Pan had some funky looking ones, and for .99 cents, I figured it was worth a shot to give them a makeover!
they started out like this... not bad, but from some angles they turned blue...?
i gave them a little sanding to take off a bit of the gloss
picked up some of my FAVORITE spray paint
this is honestly the ONLY brand of spray paint i will ever use. EVER.
gave them a good 2-3 coats
distressed the edges
set 'em up... and decided they were too plain :(
but that can always be fixed :) (vinyl is always the cure isnt it) ;)
I LOVE how the green turned out! They add so much color to my house! :)Yay for spray paint!
