My latest escapades with white spray paint

     White spray paint. Besides food and fabric, I do believe it is the most purchased item in this household. I love white, and I love spray paint. What a lovely combination. If you've been reading this blog for any time, you've seen me  post about my wall of white. My only criteria for things to hang on it, is that it be something that captures my imagination, and it's pretty to look at. Enter my latest thrift store finds...
      These three little mirrors had lovely frames that were just begging to be freed from that awful gold finish. I used white spray paint, and black glaze to achieve this particular finish.

       Next up, I found this completely awesome ship wall hanging, which also received a nice coat of white paint. It makes me think of books I love, like Treasure Island and Moby Dick. It does have a few broken spots, but I don't mind them. It makes it seem more like a real ship that's been beaten by a storm or something.

       I repainted a clock I had with a deer head (gotta include something manli-ish for the mister's sake!), and spray painted a few other little things to add to my collection.

        Here it is all hung up with my previous collection.

         I really do love my little wall. Its very eclectic, but I still feel it works together nicely.

       I'm not sure what I'll do when my wall gets too full to add more...spread to the roof maybe? Ha! Kidding! What's your favorite little spot to look at in your house?

Philippians 4:6   Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

Friday Favorites - A Black and White Situation

My Fair Lady via Pinterest

       Black and white is far and away my most favorite color combination. It never goes out of style, it always looks crisp and top notch. I like to look at it, because it is soothing. I like to decorate with it, because it looks clean. I can add to, and change out, any other color I wish, if I have a basic black and white foundation. I like to wear it, because its the fastest way to look put together without fussing. I can wear the same pieces over and over again, but completely switch up the look by using bright accessories or layering pieces.

      Well, I just realized number 8 isn't exactly black and white...but I'm not going to redo that whole business just to take that picture out. It could be black and white if you wore white pants with it! =) 

       Black and white is just so simple. I really like simple. In an odd way, I see God in it. Either He is who He says He is, or He isn't. I believe Him, or I don't. I'm His child, or I'm not. We tend to really over complicate God, by adding in "maybe's" and "what if's". It really is just a black and white situation...either you choose Him, or you don't. 

      Well, so much for my philosophizing. Swing back around Monday for a bit more black and white goodness. I'll show you some new pieces I've added to my wall of white.

      Do you have a pet color combination? Why do you like it so much?

Isaiah 1:18   Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
