Spray paint is my favorite way to stretch my decorating budget, and over the years I've used it on just about everything (like it's getting ridiculous). So, today I've compiled a list of my top 10 ways that you can use spray paint to transform items in your home. Enjoy! Let's get started. #1. Spray paint small accessories As a reformed hoarder of thrift store junk, this is probably my favorite way to use spray paint. Just take any plain jane trinket, none of which will match if they come from a thrift store, and cover them in spray paint. It's a great way to save money on decor accessories and it almost always works. In the above example I used some antique white spray paint to update 2 bronze candlesticks and a green vase. In the below picture, I used my favorite silver spray paint to update a mirrored tray, a vase, and the frame on that artwork. #2. Spray paint outdated doorknobs When we first moved into our house, all of our doorknobs had an outdated brass finish. So, rather than spend hundreds to replace them (which wasn't really an option at the time), I spray painted them with my favorite oil rubbed bronze spray paint. #2. Spray paint light fixtures. Over the past few years, I've slowly replaced most of the outdated light fixtures in our house. To save money, I searched local thrift stores and craigslist for light fixtures that had a great shape, and then I spray painted them. Here's the before of a $5 thrift store chandelier I bought. And here's what it looked like after I spray painted it with this silver spray paint (affiliate link) and hung it in our office. You can find the original post on this chandelier here. I did the same thing to the first chandelier I ever hung in my office. I found an old brass chandelier on eBay, and spray painted it white. I also added strings of crystal beads to it, and created my own little crystal chandelier. See the original post here. That was one of the first blog posts I ever made. Embarrassing. #3. Spray paint lamps Spray paint is also a great way to update an old lamp. I found this one at the thrift store for just a few dollars, but it was horribly dated. So I spray painted the base silver and added a new drum shade with a black ribbon hotglued around the top and bottom. You can find the full tutorial here. I also recently spray painted two thrift store lamps in our guest bedroom a high gloss white. It's such a great solution if you don't have $50-$200 to spend on a lamp. #4. Spray paint hardware If you don't love the original hardware on a piece of furniture (or in your kitchen/bath), you can easily update it with a little spray paint. For instance, I updated the brassy pulls on my blue dresser with a little spray paint trick I learned. To get them to look a little more dimensional, I sprayed them first with Rustoleum pure gold, let that dry, finely sanded each handle, then added a little Rustoleum Bright Coat Chrome (affiliate links). The gold gets into all the deep grooves, and the silver kind of highlights the raised parts. I also love oil rubbed bronze for hardware, too. It's really versatile, and goes well with both gold and silver accents. I recently used it on our media console hardware. #5. Spray paint frames Being willing to spray paint a frame opens up endless possibilities while thrifting. You can completely ignore the current color of items, and just pick stuff up based on the shape. Nearly every mirror or frame in our house has come from a thrift store or yard sale, and most have gotten spray painted. One of my favorite techniques when spray painting a frame is to spray some of the deep grooves black first, and then go over it with silver spray paint. I used this trick on mirror frame in the below picture. And on the frame in our master bedroom (one of my favorites). You can even make your own frame out of some scrap wood and then spray paint it, like I did on my DIY gold leaf art. #6. Spray paint stripes This is one of my favorite spray paint techniques, combining spray paint and painter's tape to create stripes. I did this on my DIY jewelry organizer, and it turned out pretty cool. #7. Spray paint furniture. Spray painting furniture is an easy way to update a piece without tons of effort. It works best on smaller furniture like end tables or chairs. For example, I spray painted our kitchen barstools silver and they've held up perfectly for years. Another example is this filing cabinet. I spray painted the frame a high gloss black and then used chalkboard paint on each drawer front. I also spray painted this rocking chair dark brown to mimic an espresso wood tone. #8. Spray paint curtain rods I had a bunch of outdated brass curtain rods in our master bedroom, and rather than replace them, I just spray painted them with some oil rubbed bronze spray paint. It was a great solution and saved me probably $50 a window. #9. Spray paint dated bathroom fixtures We had a lovely two-toned set of fixtures in our guest bathroom. I absolutely hated them, but couldn't afford to replace them at the time. So, I spray painted everything. And it's has held up perfectly for nearly 2 years now. You can see the details here. #10. Holiday decor Last year I found tons of ornaments at the thrift store, bought about 100 for less then $2, took them home and spray painted them to suit my needs. I made a bunch of silver ones for my ornament wreath and some white ones for my tree. It was so easy to do, too. Just use the box they come in to prop them up while you spray paint them. I did something similar for Halloween, too. I bought a bunch of plastic pumpkins at the dollar store, spray painted them silver, and used them for decoration. See details here. Over the years, I've learned a few things about the different spray paint products available, and I've used all sorts of different brands. My favorites are Rustoleum, Krylon, and Valspar. I prefer the quality of Rustoleum over anything else, but sometimes use Krylon and Valspar as they both have more color options than Rustoleum. The most durable (in my experience) is the Rustoleum Universal. The three in the center (below) are my favorites: Pure Gold, Titanium Silver, and Oil Rubbed Bronze. The Titanium Silver is more of a brushed nickel silver and is great for almost anything. When I'm in need of a shinier chrome silver, my go-to is Rustoleum Bright Coat (far left). It has a gorgeous shiny finish. My favorite white is the Rustoleum Painter's Touch Gloss White. That stuff is amazing for little accessories...it seriously gives a flawless, ceramic-like finish.
