Never underestimate the power of a spray paint can, especially on a thrift store purchase in need of major TLC. The best thing about this type of project is it requires little skill. Trust me, anyone can do it! My husband and I even spray painted our entertainment center in the only outdoor space we have – our 5 x 12 ft apartment balcony. Our final product gets rave reviews from family and friends and it was as easy as 1-2-3.

I’ve been blogging for four years now and I can admit, things tend to get a bit stale. So that’s why last week I asked you guys to take a short reader survey {you can still take it, here} to get a better idea of what you like, dislike or want more of.
