The Arizona Parkman's: Spray Paint til u love it

Debbie

I use to be a due diligence career woman who traveled the country >200 days a year on business. I was very self centered & materialistic until I found the true meaning of life, by creating life. My son has filled a void I never knew existed. Now, I am a SAHM, "Momapreneur" & dedicated family woman. I also run & manage TutuSheek.blogspot.com for my custom crafted Tutu's. I love decorating and home decore. My interest include everything crafty, digi scrap booking, blogging, swapping Mommy stories, tips, & recipes. But most of all I <3 my family.

Baby Bear

is the biggest blessing of our lives and means the absolute world to us. It seems as if he was just born yesterday yet, it feels like he has always been in our life. This very sweet boy brings so much joy to our lives. He is always so happy, it is very easy to love him. His interests include singing, dancing, reading, watching Elmo, Sesame St, Barney, Baby Einstein, playing with building blocks, Legos, and sports (already). Our little guy loves music and was born with rhythm. He may look as if someone through his Daddy in the dryer but he totally has his Mama's personality and perma-grin.

Spray Paint til u love it

Rustic, unfinished, and has a yuk appeal to it, I know. It sat there all alone and unwanted on the clearance rack for a steal at $4.00 but I see the potential. Nothing a little spray paint can't handle.

Before:

After:

I love it! I used Espresso Brown and retouched the center with Black and what a transformation. Oh and when I say "I", I really mean "Eric" but, its my vision. There for what is mine is his and what he does I take credit for lol. I love wrought iron for the inside and outside of the home.

This piece really helped with the high vaulted ceilings we have. This is the view coming out of the lavatory. It really brings your eye upward and helps fill the empty wall which you really can't put just anything up there.

Another clearance find at $3.00 each. It was previously a very dated brass color and oh so "fugly" (yes, that's a word in my book =) Again, I (aka Eric) spray painted it that same Espresso Brown and now, it is a classy modern piece. I think I am going to add these to our Guest Room which we named the Chocolate Room.
