Confessions of a Spray Paint Addict ~ An Interview With SheKnows.com

Recently, I was contacted by SheKnows.com to be interviewed for

an article called Confessions of a Spray Paint Addict.

Doesn't that sound fun?

You can see the highlight on their site here...

but here you can see all the questions they asked me and my full answers.
Let's get started, shall we?

SK: Do you have a favorite spray paint project that you've completed?

Me: I think my favorite project is the update to my KitchenAid mixer.

As much as I love the folding chairs...I get to see and use my mixer All.The.Time.

It makes me smile just to see it sitting on the counter.

SK: What originally got you interested in using spray

paint to renovate and DIY around the home?

Me: Actually, would you believe my first spray paint project was 25 years ago?

Should I admit to being that old? Ha ha.

I made over a lantern I got at a garage sale when

I was in high school and have been hooked ever since.

Spray paint is easy to use and makes for a quick transformation on just about anything!

I have a friend who painted her kitchen cabinets with spray paint...but she's a little crazy.

Maybe it was the fumes. :)

SK: If you had to pick a favorite color right now, what would it be?

Me: Right now I'm totally loving aqua and lighter turquoise colors.

I used some aqua on the walls in my laundry room

where I spray painted my washer and dryer!

Yes, you can spray paint just almost anything!

SK: What finish do you like using the most?

Me: That's something I'm really picky about.

For the most part, I hate glossy finishes.

Satin has always been my go-to finish, but not all colors are available in satin.

But, there's always a topcoat if I really want to take the shine down a notch.

SK: Would you be interested in sharing a photo of one of your projects with our readers? If so, could you briefly explain (1-2 sentences) a little about that project?

Me: We had acquired some ugly folding chairs, and while useful,

I hated to bring them out for parties because they were so blah.

I saw a photo of some colored chairs somewhere and that gave me the idea

to use spray paint to freshen them up and make them party-ready.

SK: Any tips you'd like to share?

Me: Besides the basics, like always have good ventilation

and don't paint in your church clothes...

Don't be afraid to make a mistake!

Take your time with nice even coats to minimize dripping.

But in the end...for a few dollars a can, you can always

start over or change a color you decide you don't like.

Liebster Blog Love

I'm a little ashamed to say this post is MONTHS in the making.

I kept putting it off because it makes me uncomfortable.

But...these fine ladies have felt the need to bestow some
Liebster Blog Love on me and I wanted to give them a shout out.
A Liebster award is given to up and coming bloggers,
generally with less than 200 followers,
that have inspired the giver in some way.

Please take a moment to hop on over and check out their awesome blogs.
Leave them some comment love...follow them...
stalk them...okay, not really.
Go ahead...I'll wait...GO!

Kristy from Shona Skye Creations,
Raquel from Organized Island,
Danielle from Sew Much Crafting,
and Jenn at Finding Sunshine in My Life

I'm afraid I'm gonna have to be a party poopa.
{c'mon, say it like Arnold *link has a #*!% word*}

While I LOVE that folks kinda like me and want to give me awards...
I find it incredibly difficult to pick others to return the favor to.
And...to answer not 11, but 44 questions?
I have a headache just thinking about it.
:)

So...I'm going to answer a few random ones
from each award giver and we'll call it good.
mmmkay?

And away we go:

1. Is form or function more important to you?
This is something I am constantly saying.
In a perfect world the two would always go hand in hand, but if
you have to choose one over the other...I always go for form.

2. Why do you blog/why did you start blogging?
You know...I don't really know how to answer that.
While I love to be still and love peace and quiet...I can get bored easily.
I am always up for a challenge and blogging seemed like a fun thing to try.
I keep doing it because it's fun for me. Even if no one were to read it,
I enjoy doing it, and let's face it, I think I'm hilarious. :)

3. Are you a pet person/what kind of pet?
I love animals. We only have a cat...
and I will be devastated someday when she's gone.
She's crazy. I love dogs, but can't keep up with all they need.
We don't always keep a regular schedule and it's not fair to the dog
to wait on someone to let them out or find someone to dogsit when we're away.

4. If you were stuck on a deserted island,
what ONE item would you need?
Duct tape.
Seriously...have you seen that episode of Mythbusters?

5. Where were you born?
Cleveland, OH...
home of the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame...
among other things.

Okay...that looks good.
I know, I cheated and only answered
5 questions that I picked and chose.
Yep. :)

Once again...thanks for the nominations, ladies.

I hope you all have a fabulous week!
