30 in 8 - the home stretch

Whew! What a quick week. With the 30 re-dos in 8 weeks project coming to a close, I just cranked out another big chunk of stuff.
An 8 paned window becomes a suncatcher when hung near a window, and this plant stand just needed some patching and a few sprays of tomato red to make it a charming home for a plant (fern encluded)

If you are going to make things out of molded plastic don't try to make them look like wood. Instead, big punches of color make this wall sconce chic....



...and this mirror feminine.


The heavy frame AND the oil painting of this conquistador were a little much for this
but a fresh citrus hue and a new mirror makes the ornamental molding stand out even more.

even a hum drum wire napkin holder

is reincarnated in a glossy olive with coordinating retro napkins....cloth of course.

On these... spray paint. Krylon and an Ace hardware brand to be specific. Oh, and I did use a white primer spray...just to help with the bonding.

You are so impressive! I especially love the windowed door, I can see it as a room divider or even sitting pretty in a garden.
