Old decor..fresh look!

By using existing decor and some paint I found at a thrift store I can create a fresh look for things I am bored with. The candle pillars were gray and I added some white to give a new fresh look





Spray painted wreath...great way to save money!

After Christmas sale at Jo Ann Fabrics.. extremely marked down so I couldn't go wrong! Not the colors for my house...not a problem! Spray paint them! I do this a lot..buy something super cheap and make it work for you some way or another..
