In high school, I could get down with a can of spray paint.
And by that, I obviously mean every fall for our homecoming
float competition. The smell of spray paint still inevitably reminds me of October evenings, where I’d make the mad dash from cross country to somebody’s
barn, where we’d spend hours decorating a flatbed themed around something like
Noblesville Schmoblesville.
But, since then, I’ve lost touch with it. That is, until
this weekend. Growing up, we had these Adirondack chairs on our front porch. When I moved to Atlanta, I was fortunate enough to bring two
of them with me. During the last two years, though, the white washed beauties
have become anything but.
This weekend I decided the chairs needed a new coat of paint
for the new house. After scrubbing them down, I quick dry spray-painted them in
about 10 minutes. It would have been faster had I not run out of paint and had
to dash up the street to Ace Hardware to buy three more cans. Who knew one can
had so little paint?
Let me tell you, this
is a DIY that speaks my language. And by that, I mean quick to complete,
minimal detail orientation and instant gratification.
Those high school float days never did spray paint justice.
The stuff is magical!
Ta da!:
