Décor on a dime: Spray paint transformations (or what to do with all your newspaper)

So what do you do with all that newspaper that you get along with the valuable coupons?
You spread it out on the driveway and have a spray painting party! :)

Here are some spray painting transformations I have done recently:
I got this table FREE (actually, I got 2!) from someone’s garbage pile. :) The glass was perfect, just needed some cleaning. And the brass had to go!

Here it is transformed with some white spray paint.

It now is a perfect little plant stand in a corner in my office at work.

--------------------------
I have this magazine stand for years and the green used to match my decor in my living room.

After a coat of ORB (oil rubbed bronze) spray paint – I LOVE it even more!

Have you transformed anything with spray paint in recent weeks?

Love the spray paint idea--I use it all the time! Recently, I had to buy some wide curtain rods for the windows in the kids' rooms. Now, I have begun to redo our house in French Country, which CAN be expensive...I bought French-themed borders on Ebay, a wallpaper mural that looks like you are looking out a window of a cafe into a Parisian street, etc...and was on a small budget for those rods. Our oldest was fine with the black wrought-iron look heavy rod I found on clearance...our 14 yr old daughter was NOT. So...for her room, which ISN'T in French Country (sigh), we bought a pewter color spray paint (Krylon.) If I had bought a rod in that brushed nickel finish, I'd have paid a WHOLE lot more--and if she ever changes her mind about the French Country idea, I can always respray it black! Curbside finds, provided they aren't infested with bedbugs, are a great source for items that may need a little sprucing up. A can of spray paint is only a few dollars and can save you a ton of money. Plus....it's fun.
