Before and After...

I'm not the first to spray paint something, and I'm sure I won't be the last. It's amazing what paint can do. I never knew how much of an impact paint has until Kevin and I purchased our house 4 or so years ago. Paint has definitely transformed our home.

I get bored. I've had the same centerpiece in my dining room since the beginning of time {click here to see it}, so I've been wanting a change. After some inspiration from friends and other things, here's what I have so far.

Also, I still have A LOT of bare walls in my house, soo, slowly but surely I'm adding to them.

I picked up some cheap vases from the DAV and some old ugly frames I found there and spray painted them into something new! I bought the "Amore" vase and flowers from Michael's.

I didn't end up taking very many before pictures, but I think you'll get the idea.

Please ignore our HUGE dog cage.  I would like to down size it; so if you know anyone who needs a gigantic cage let me know ;)

What do you think of the placement of the vases? Should I add more? I don't know. 
Kev wasn't a fan of the candles on some of the vases, so now I'm a little insecure that it all looks funny. 
I think this is one of those things, that I need to just accept that I like it, and that's good enough.
