Creepy to Halloween Creepy


Seriously someone had this in their house. I know it was a little creepy to begin with, but with a little black spray paint, it would become the perfect backdrop to any Halloween display.

And birdcage, boring before the black paint. Now, look what I have done with the cheap and creepy thrift store finds.

I think it needs a little more, but it's a start to the scariest and creepiest Halloween collection.

After a quick to the dollar store and a little black spray paint, this is the outcome.

Something to hold onto

I guess it's one of those necessities in a house, and yet so plain and ugly. In a new cookie cutter house everyone on the block has the same one, also.
So, here is the before - plain and boring right?
After a few shakes of the magical spray paint wand or can whatever you may call it, this is the new lovely darker hand rail.

Oops,

Before
Oops paint $3, hubby can't be mad over $3 right? I paint and the result is horrible. After many coats of "fix it" paint later, and can you tell the difference? I think I can. And, I do like the fact that something is different, even if no one else can tell. It's a work in progress still, I know. I would love some corbels and bar stools to round off the whole glorious magazine cover kitchen island. So, my point just get what you want to start with.

After

The oops paint was cheap in every sense of the word. I had to run out and buy good full price paint the next morning, there was no messing around I tell you it was horrifying. Sorry, no pics.

I see ot
her blogs and their great "oops" paint stories. I'm jealous, I just do not have that good fortune, of finding the perfect oops paint.
