DIY Before and After: metal flower wall hanging

Another post on our adventures with spray painting!  We went to a fun block party a few weeks back at North Loop and scored some amazing items at Room Service.  Almost everything I picked up, I'd say to B "...and we can spray paint this!"  Incredibly he agreed and we took home this little metal flower wall hanging--I have a soft spot for cherry blossoms.

A before picture: we placed it on some cardboard in the middle of the yard (last time I spray painted, there was a curious outline of cardboard on the patio--whoops!)


After quite a few coats of paint, the completed work:

We found a home for the hanging in the hallway between the bedrooms upstairs








There are more spray painting adventures and sore index fingers to share so stay tuned!

  1. Spray paint is crack! OK, we need to talk about your staircase. Is that cable?

  2. yes it is a sort of cable. I'll have to take a pic for you. Looks nice aesthetically but not so great if you have a little dog that likes to poke his head under and try to jump off!
