The next picture is of that cabinet (what is this cabinet called anyway?) and my white, boring wall.
(Again, photographs done by my 6-year-old, Faith, not too bad)
Okay, this next one is of the after. Try to ignore that UGLY light at the top.
I just LOVE this color AS an accent wall. It is not too bold and just right for me. The problem is now I REALLY DO WANT TO PAINT EVERYTHING. So, I figured I would finish up what I started, 'cause now I REALLY REALLY want to paint my kitchen.
Okay, so my friend, Tammy, had this color in her house and I loved it and copied it. She said it was okay. ;) Anyway, she got her paint from Lowe's, you know the kind with the primer in it already. Well, I happened to get mine at Freddies, Labor Day weekend, and only paid something like $15 a gallon. I was very very happy with that and I still have almost a whole gallon left. So, this project here only cost a little over $15 to do. Wow! I consider that frugal.
Okay, so now onto my next project.....So, I was looking around yesterday and and realized that I COULD spray paint my picture frames. So, this is what they looked like before.......
Here is what they look like with a little spray primer ($2.97 a can at Walmart).
Okay, now here is what they look like with a little spray paint from Walmart ($0.97 a can at Walmart)
Look at that beauty. Well, I think it is, as I have NEVER done anything like this before. Now, I am going to put my pictures back in these frames and hang them back up on my "new" wall. I think it will look pretty good. We'll see. I will have to take a picture of that too.
Anyway, the cost of spray painting the picture frames was only around $7 and I spray painted A LOT of frames. Not too shabby. Next, I am going to paint the trim of my wall white and do a little touch up here and there and THEN I will be done.
I am soooo excited about this. Do you have any "frugal" makeover tips for your home? I would love to hear them.
Thanks!
Cheryl
