Everything looks better with color......

Including myself :).  Unfortunately, my last weekend sunburn just at the point of turning to a tan began to peel :(.  Oh well.  Who needs color in California...right?

This weekend I headed outside with two cans of spray paint, one paint sample, a rocking chair and a whole lot of cheap plastic plant pots. 

I quickly realized why I don't get many of these projects done :).  Since the hubby was gone for the day with my oldest I had the two girls and man did they want to paint!  

First we started with the chair:  

This was my rocking chair I got as a child.  I have been meaning to refinish it for years. 

I went with Aqua on the color to match the Princess Room of course! 

 I ran into a couple minor problems....

I am FAR from an expert as you can see :)

 Indiana was LOVIN' it!

 

Lawn mowing day is a great day to paint :)

I did a little distressing.....I was VERY glad for the distressing to hide my great painting skills ;).

And Here is the finished product!

Then onto the flower pots....Unfortunately my mom got to them before I was able to take a BEFORE picture :).  She does not have a blogging mind ;).  Trust me they were forest green and UGLY!

We went with Eden on the pots to give them a more "Garden-ey" feel

Then on to the front flower pots...my favorite!  Indiana was finally able to use her mad painting skills :)

I took these beat up drab black flower pots and gave them a cheery facelift!

Nothing says "Cheery" like some goldenrod yellow......

With purple flowers!  

I would have to say they were a success!  After all that hard work I just had to head up to the city for some much needed fun with one of my favorite people.....I will let Heather take over from here ;).

So how was your weekend?  If you have any fun DIY projects we would love to see them!
