We appreciate a dollar saved. A lot. I mentioned a
few days ago that we saved hundreds of dollars by painting the pulls. So even though we ordered new hinges (remember, so yours truly wouldn't cringe each time a door was opened due to the scraping of paint), we scored a killer deal and saved boat-loads.
So if you're looking to make a quick update to your kitchen, bathroom, or dresser, don't purchase new hardware - paint it! Our new best friend is Rustoleum spray paint. We used Hammered Silver for the kitchen pulls.
Several coats later and we had a nice "hammered" look.
For about a gazillion other little projects, we've been using Rustoleum Metallic. The silver below is not what we used, but I apparently misplaced the correct color. While the Metallic Silver is nice (we initially planned on using it on the kitchen pulls), we decided that the sparkles would look cheap. So even though our method
was cheap, we didn't want it to look it.
Metallic Oil-Rubbed Bronze.
On a whim, Daniel taped off the bathroom faucet and gave it a few quick coats. I'm fairly certain we saved at least $100 with this mini-project.
Finally, to update one of our sweet little white chairs, I gave it a quick coat of sunny yellow.
Pre-painting.
Sweet little yellow chair.
So cheery.
With only a few days of summer left, who knows what other mini-projects I'll be tackling. Any suggestions?
Happy rainy day!
