Kate says
Love the knife block!
Jessi says
Ah, the power of spray paint! Everything looks great. This reminds me to spray paint the silver lids on some of my canisters with my ORB paint.
Sandra says
Great makeovers…love that spray paint color…very nice work. Come say hi.
Struggler says
They look great – I’m thinking the spray paint you used is a dark grey, is that right?
Allison says
I used black on most of it, but the candle stick is Rust-oleum Metallic Dark Bronze. I wanted to use ORB but can’t find any. Thrifty Decor Chick said that maybe I can order it on Amazon?!
Diana @ The Girl Creative says
Thanks for linking up. I’ve been meaning to spray paint the lids of some jars I’m saving and was wondering how they’d turn out. And now I know. 🙂
Traci says
It is already past my bedtime and all I can think about is painting my knife block in the morning. Great such. I buy my ORB at Walmart at just $2.97. Much better than Home Depot (Hubby and I call it Home Deposit) or Lowe’s.
Thanks for the inspiration.
