Got paint??




Last weekend we had a few very sunny days and it just got me so excited for springtime. To get outside and do yard work, spruce things up a bit you know.   It also got me excited to do something in my house.  Do you ever get that feeling when you  just want to do SOME thing? Clean, or move furniture, or paint or decorate???  

Of course with a "limited with a capital L" budget,...I am always excited to find something to do for cheap. 

So, I found this cute idea to make a plaque for my front door.  It was pretty easy to do, and this link will tell you the step by step directions that I followed.    http://pinkandpolkadot.blogspot.com/2008/10/eat-crow.html

My house is black and white with a red door, so this plaque is just perfect.    I also have wanted to re paint a small kid's rocker that I had sitting on my porch.  So, I used the red from the door and it looks so cute.  The plaque and the rocking chair have just spruced up my front porch a little bit!  A few cheap and fresh touch ups...love that!!
