Nothin' a little spray paint can't fix!

Have you ever looked at something and thought it would look good if not for the horrible paint color? Meredith has helped me realize the endless possibilities with just a little bit of spray paint! I recently purchased this wooden "welcome" sign as I thought the size would be perfect above my refrigerator. The color however, seafoam green, was not what I was going for! This frame has been sitting in a box since I got married - oak is also not my thing. I decided to work a little magic and let Andy use it in his office for pictures of the family!
1 can of black spray paint did the trick!
The only tricky part is getting the inside of the letters, I sprayed my first coat with the sign laying down and went from there. I used a satin black spray and did one last top coat with chalk board spray paint to give it a nice even, matte appearance.

The finished product
This took about 1 hour start to finish, even with drying time in between coats!

I do love a can of spray paint! The head boards look great and I love the chalk board plates. Did you re-paint the girls room? It's very similar to the color in Cozette's room. Your girls room looks fantastic! And they will love sleeping with each other.
