A fresh new look for my garden decor

 

When I was cleaning out my garage last week I found these dragonfly garden decorations. I've had them for years. I did use them in my gardens at one time, but I liked them not loved them, ya know? So one year, after putting them away for the winter, I didn't get them back out in the spring. Looking at them now, I debated: Keep? Or ditch? They're kind of drab looking. There's nothing exciting about them. I didn't think they really added anything to my gardens, so why keep them? But, as they were about to hit the garage sale pile, I thought "spray paint!" Of course. lol I picked up a can of sunny yellow paint (in fact, it's called Sun Yellow) at Walmart for $3.67. It was an easy job to give them each a couple coats of the yellow paint.

 

 

Now they're a bright, cheery pop of color in a couple of my gardens!

 

 

Everybody has spray painted grass, right?

Even more green spray paint for the "guest room"

Still working on the "guest room!" I decided it needed just one more pop of green. I found this candle sconce in my storage room.

 

And the narrow wall space next to the closet seemed the perfect place for it. I gave it a coat of the green paint and hung it up. I even had the candle on hand. I'd rather a white candle in this room (this one's ivory, if you can't tell in the picture), but I already had this one, so for now it'll do.

 

 

By the way -- I'm still using the same can of spray paint. A little really does go a long way!
