Spring "Mantel" Redo

Welcome to Friday!

Normally, this would be a VERY happy thought for me,

but today, it means that my spring break is almost over. 

{Pout}

Moving on, I'm excited to introduce you

to two of my new best friends:

Meet New Avocado and Churchill Hotel Vanilla.

Both are Valspar spray paints, and they are like MAGIC!

How do I know this, you ask?

Well, you see these dirty old frames?

{They were dirtier than this... this was after a good ol' soap and water treatment}

These frames went from looking like this,

to looking like this:

Yay! I love my new "mantel"!

Ok, it's really just a plain old shelf, but when you have no fireplace,

you have to compromise sometimes.

Here are some more views:

{My sis-in-law Emily made me those fun button candles. Thanks Em!}

{I love love love this little bunny I snagged at Target}

{Frontal view, with an antique tint. I can't help myself with the IPhoto

editing options sometimes}

{In the context of our living room. I have to say that the "mantel"

looks better in real life, but I have no way of proving that to you,

so I guess you'll have to take my word for it!}

Thank you New Avocado and Churchill Hotel Vanilla for enhancing my living room!

I am literally looking around my home for more things I can use you

to spray onto.  I have already sprayed one additional item

with New Avocado, so readers (all 8 of you), stay tuned

later this week for one more fun addition

to our living room/entry area :).

P.S. You may recognize the wreath on the mantel as the wreath

I did have hanging on our front door. There is now a new front door

wreath in town. I'll show him to you later this week as well!

P.P.S.  (Or is it P.S.S.???) I'm thinking more than 8 of you read this blog...

reveal yourself please! I'd love to know who you are!
