Repurposing Old Decor
*By: Mrs. Jenny Musser*
Josh and I have been working hard these last few weekends in our backyard getting things crossed off our list of projects. One thing on my list was to decorate our back patio. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on this so I looked through the garage to see if I could repurpose anything by spray painting it a bright color.
I had a metal tree that had been out in the sun and was faded. I also had a tray, an urn and a wall hanging. They were all metal so they would be great for outside.
So a coat of bright spray paint gives new life to these old items. My favorite spray paint is Rust-Oleum Ultra Cover 2X which is about $4 a can. If you do a lot of spray painting, you have to get one of these spray guns for $7 at Home Depot..no more getting spray paint all over your fingers! Before you paint, just make sure you clean whatever you plan on painting!
Happy Repurposing!!!
