HMMM I think I have an addiction

Hi my name is Cari, and I am addicted to spray paint and old furniture. It all started when my friend Stacey (give her some love here), refinished a pie safe that was super old. So I refinished a hutch for my kitchen. The whole time I was working on it I was thinking to myself what else can I refinish? I started plotting ways to get Lance to let me buy furniture to refinish. When I came to realize that currently in my basement I have an old night stand, a rocking chair that belonged to my husbands great great grandmother, an hand me down table that we dont use anymore. So while yes I am going to get to those eventually :), I decided to refinish a piece of furniture for each of my sisters for Christmas. I havent given one of those pieces away yet because I havent seen one of my sisters since before Christmas. Also in my hurriedness I forgot to take a picture of one of them when it was finished but I am going to see if she will take a picture and send it to me :). Everything I have learned about spray paint I learned from my new friend (but she doesn't know it) Brooke at allthingsthrifty.com. I dont think this is an addiction that I will be getting over anytime soon........

My hutch
Primed
Its a little boring right now because I just took all the Christmas decorations off of it and need to come up with something either Valentines or everyday to put on there.

I forgot to take a picture before I started priming it oops...

Jana's table that I did in Lime Green that I forgot to take pics of before I gave it to her.

How fun! I got the bug this last year when I painted an old ugly dresser orange for my little boys room. I definitely know what I will be on the look out for this garage sale season. :)

Turned out cute. I actually like the look of the little table just primed. I love the antique white look though.
