My Love for Rub n' Buff ~

I am sure I have expressed my love for Rub n' Buff before, but I don't think you can say "I love you" too much! Really - you should say it everyday....well to those you love.

I had these two items just sitting around, they are okay, but they needed a little facelift.

Rub n Buff to the rescue (and a little black spray paint of course). 

 I spray painted them both black.

And went to town with the Rub n' Buff in Grecian Gold.

I even painted the knobs and used the Rub n' Buff on those too...I mean why not?

Here is the grass all pretty and super happy with his facelift.

And the drawers are equally as happy - as am I, now I have one more place to shove misc. stuff!

So, if you haven't experienced the awesomeness of Rub n' Buff, I suggest you put in on your list (and I am not getting paid to say this - I swear!).

Lovin' this Spray Paint ~

I had to share my new love for this stuff - 

I picked it up thinking, maybe I could use it to repaint the climbing steps on my kiddos swing set...little did I know, I was going to fall in love and end up painting my way to the end of the can - and wanting more! Unfortunately, I didn't take any before photos. But I do have this one from last year after we freshly painted the set. 

And here is it is today - the climbing steps, the two swing and the glider all got a fresh new look.

And I am sure you all can bet what I want to paint next - yes, I am thinking about tackling that slide! Now I know this is not great design, and this post is simply featuring painted swings - but I had to share how great this product covers and I will keep you posted on its durability as the Summer goes on.

Don't forget, my current giveaway ends tonight!

The Power of Paint (in the hallway) ~

I have been painting a little the last few days and here is one of my "new" spaces thanks to a little paint. Here is our hallway from the garage into the kitchen before:

During the painting - man, that was a lot of molding to cut around - 4 doors and 1 door jam to be exact.

And the after...

ah...

I painted this Pottery Barn mirror this last Summer from a mahogany wood to black and sanded the edges. And the rug I purchased at Tuesday Morning for $49.99.

And added a few names just to personalize it. I used Behr Ultra, paint and primer in one in Belgian Sweet. I purchased this for our master bedroom to paint over a red wall, hence the primer. I will try to show you more on that this week.
