Poetry and Paint

Who wants more DR. SEUSS???



Oh, come on, you know you do.


I am continually amazed by the POWER OF PAINT. Spray paint, of course, but also craft paint, chalkboard paint, glass paint, fabric paint...


It brings out the poet in me (okay, maybe not). Emily Dickenson is spinning in her grave.


You can paint in on a FRAME,


Or take a pillow to fab from LAME,







You can paint a cloth for under your FEET





Or write your name on your chair, how NEAT!








You can even paint a metal SEAT!





I'm always excited to find new ways to use the ultra cheap transforming power of paint. These are all projects I've yet to try, future projects to share! Have a fabulous day!

  1. I'm thinking of spray painting them metal (I think that's the material) patio set that I got for free. It's forest green and I'd like to do it a tan color. You've inspired me.

  4. When you spray paint, so you use a sealant when you're done? I have some kids furniture I'd like to transform, but I'm wondering if spray paint is too dangerous (table and chairs).

    I'd also like to redo my cheap-o dinette set. Do you think spray paint will work on that, too?
