Spray painting an alternative to buying new - Great Idea!

 


I recently changed the colour decor in my living room to a gold and black style.  I didn't want to spend too much money - so I used my cans of spray paint and got to work with some of the ornaments and the clock that I already had.

I changed the brass coloured candlesticks to black and the wooden and silver clock frame to black and gold. Remember the post about my large old vase I had spray painted red - well now it's black!



Here are the before pictures of my vase before it was spray painted black: vase-makeover


Below is a photograph of one of my black and gold cushion covers which I made to match the decor too.


Spray painting can be a great cheaper alternative than spending a lot of money on new accessories.

  1. Salam alayki, Karima,
    Mashallah very good idea. Must of saved you a fortune. Black goes with everything so this is really worth doing instead of buying everything new. What did you sew onto the cushion or is it embroidery?

    1. Waalaikum salam, Yes saved a lot of money! The embroidery was on the fabric - I just sewed it into a cushion shape. Take Care.
