Did I mention I like to spray paint? Oh yeah… guess I did.

Here’s the “before” look at my dining room buffet and atop it are two items that have been purchased on clearance racks or at Goodwill and then sprayed.

The first is that red lamp. Loved the shape! Not so much the color. It got sprayed Rust Oleum’s Gloss White Enamel Spray Paint.

Next is that accordion-shaped thingy on the wall. I’ve seen those all over 1990’s country-themed decor and someone got rid of not one, but two of those racks at Goodwill. I snatched them each up for $0.99 and took them home. I found the miniature baskets hanging from it at a thrift store in Manhattan.

The tree painting is my own. It looks better in this picture than it does in real life! My husband’s grandfather is very intrigued by it. He’s an art collector and I think the offset canvases bothers him, but he can’t quite decide how much. Maybe he likes it though, he’s hard to read. He’s not really into blogs and home decor, but each time I make a change he and Brett’s grandma like to come out and see what’s going on.

So anyway, the accordion thingy and lamps both got sprayed. Can’t picture it? Let me help you out…

Isn’t it great? I filled each basket with a little green moss, some teensy flowers and hung them up on the wall.

You don’t see it? What? Why?

Okay… so that’s not what the picture shows… you caught me. I can’t find my pictures of this update and the only picture I do have of the white lamp and sprayed accordion thingy is this one. This was Christmas the first year we moved in. I DIY’d the lamp shade trim, the runner on the buffet, the rope Christmas trees and the tiny mirror hanging up top. I simply didn’t keep up with the blog and now I’m trying to get some posts done for things that I DID take pictures of… *sigh*.

Why can’t I go into the dining room and take another picture? Well… things have already changed of course! I don’t even own the buffet anymore!
