DIY Painted Picture Frames

I've been working diligently on a gallery wall for my entryway and wanted to add a few fun pops of color to some plain frames I already had.  Here's a quick post on my new fun frames. 

Spray-painted IKEA aluminum RIBBA frames
I used Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch Spray Paint in Lagoon. I sprayed 2 coats, and when the frames were completely dry I sprayed 1 more coat because I noticed some spots I missed.  Total cost was $3.27 for the spray paint, and I still have plenty of spray leftover.

My Adopted Patio Furniture - How to Paint Adirondack Chairs

There's no better feeling than getting something for free that you actually like and frequently use.  When we lived in West Midtown, Jeff found this little treasure broken in several places and laying out on the curb ready to be scooped up by the next garbage truck... or by us.  Free patio furniture? Yes please.  Oh, we don't have a patio? Who cares... it will look just as nice on our back parking pad/driveway.

Gettin' My Blog On

Hellooo blogging world (or as my outer Asian would say... Herrrrooo ^_^)! I'm finally making the transition from blog-stalker to blog-attempter.  It only took me about one month to decide on a semi-unique blog name (subsequently Googled to find it's only been used 6,120 times in internet history... totally unique) and another month to hit the Publish button and pop the cherry on this bad boy.
