i love spray paint.

On our way up to Pennsylvania over 4th of July weekend, I saw a gorgeous, old and rusted aqua colored iron rod bed displayed outside at the On A Whim Boutique in Lucketts, VA (the place with the polk-a-dot silo).  We pulled over to take a look.  At a price tag of over $200, we had to pass it up but the idea that this was something I could do on my own didn't leave me.  Later that day, I was telling a friend about it and she offered up her daughters old bed...for FREE!!!  And the bed is perfect for Anna's room and for what I wanted to do with it!!

So...

3 cans of spray paint for less than $9  +   1 free iron rod bed   =  a new AQUA colored bed for Anna!!
(and one thing checked off my list)

I LOVE it!
