DIY: Six Simple Paint Projects

Every time I blog about DIY project ideas, I get such a great response from you! I suppose it's because we love learning new ways to spruce up the things we already own...you can give new life to just about anything by adding a small embellishment, fresh coat of paint, etc. Today's post covers six simple projects using just a little bit of paint and maybe a stencil or two. Click on the link below each image to learn exactly how to DIY. My favorite is the one just below, with the stenciled birdcage on a bamboo shade!

  3. I'm with you, the stencilled bird cage is fab! I also (as I have a 'tree thing' going on), love the tree on the pillow.

  11. Thanks for all these great ideas, I'm getting inspired. My favorite is the Pillow with the Birch tree stencil. I used the Upholstery Spray Paint in burnt Orange for some accent pillows & an Ikea lamp shade,it came out great. They have some colors not available in the stores on thier site http://www.simplyspray.com I hated to pay the shipping but it was worth it.
