Red and Blue Spray Paint

Spray paint is one of  the greatest inventions for DIYers. It gives an instant makeover and it's so easy to do. 

I  like tables that have interesting legs.  They are very difficult to paint with a brush but are a snap with spray paint.  Imagine the hassle of painting these legs with a brush.

They are nesting tables beside my hubby's chair in our TV room.


I love theses spindles on the side of this table. Using a brush...forget it!
This little table looks so cute in our guestroom alongside the quilt and pillows I made for the bed.

Is there anything around your home that needs a fresh coat of paint?  There is  probably something.  If you've never tried spray paint, give it a go.  You'll never look back.


I discovered that there is another blogger, named Kathleen at Faded Charm who has been hosting White Wednesdays for 33 weeks and so I've decided there is no need for me to start another one.  If you had joined me last week please go over and see Kathleen and link with her from now on.  I'll probably do the same. 

It might be fun to do a spring spray painting party!  What do you think?

  1. Good idea to both ideas. And, what about drips with spray painting, especially on spindles? Do you use a brush too to catch them? Or spray very lightly again and again?

  2. Spray Paint For Wicker should be the name of a TV show! I LOVE spray paint too!

    I use one of those contraptions that clips onto the top/nozzle and I never get drips or a dirty finger!!!

  3. Love the tables, especially the blue. I have a small book stand from my childhood (60+ yrs, because it was there before I was born!) I think the spray paint is just what it needs. It needs to come out of its hiding place.

  9. Rhondi, your tables look so pretty. Do you have to use sanding paper before you spray? I'm looking around my house for something to spray paint! laurie

  11. Sign me up for the spray paint party -- except that I'll have to photograph everything in my house! It's a favorite of mine, and like Penny, I wish it came in more colors. I love your bright, cheerful tables!

  12. I have never used spray paint before. How do you keep from getting it all over things you don't want painted?

  13. Hi, Rhondi,
    Can you tell me what color "red" you used for the table and what brand?

    Thanks,
    D

  14. Love, LOVE the way both your tables turned out Rhondi! But I am loving most of all that one glimpse I can see of a quilt next to the blue nesting tables. How very Mary Englebreit!! I do love Mary so very much! You have inspired me with colour, once again! xxoo

  15. Rhondi dear - catching up on your news and hoping life is getting better. I was so sorry to hear of John's accident - but thankful to learn he wasn't injured.
    Meanwhile you are staying busy I see - yes, almost time to get loaded up with spray cans and get outside and paint!!

    My life has been really busy since learning I will be off on such a huge adventure. There are so many things to organize it seems - next week I'll be getting all the necesssary immunizations (ugh!).

    Stay warm dear - still chilly around here. I'm thankful the new storm is not going to hit here today - those poor people further North!!!

  16. I agree, spray paint is so efficient and is often the only way to go for a quick efficient paint job on hard to paint areas like spindles. Love the red table.

    Love,

  17. Rhondi,
    When you painted your table and chairs white, did you sand them first or just prime. I am thinking about painting mine.

  18. I'm lovin' how that lovely little red table pops next to your beautiful Americana bed set. The blue is pretty too but I'm a fan of the red. Yep, love the spray!

    I just wanted top pop over and see what ya'll were up to.

    You have the best day filled with blessings from above!!!

  19. Your tables look great. I never painted a table at all, brush or spray. You did a good job and make it look easier than I bet it is.

  21. I love spray paint, too. It's the perfect thing for painting tinware. I even did an old wicker rocker with it. Your tables look fabulous. That red one is a knockout! Hugs, Terri

  22. You are so right, I would never paint another chair if I had to do it all with a brush! Golly but I love that red table!

  25. Your table looks so cute red! Yes, a spray paint party would be fun but it's waaay too cold her right now to go outside and paint plus it's wet.

  26. I'm crazy about your wonderful tables! I agree, what would we do without spray paint? :)

    Hope all is well with you! Dana

  27. Rhondi, if you don't mind me asking, what brand and color was the red paint for the night stand? It is adorable, and I too can't live without it either - spraying that is! :>)

  28. Hi Gloria
    It is Rustoleum. I think they only have one color red. It was actually for metal so it took a lot longer to dry. Thanks for visiting :)
