i hate wood.

Adam has this horrible table lamp in our apartment. It's wood, bland and extremely ugly. I'm wondering how pissed he would get if I secret spray painted it silver or gold, spray pained our side table white and switch out the lamp shade? After posting those pictures of an all white bedroom I want change! Granted we are only going to be in this apartment for a few more months i'm starting to get antsy. 


What to spray: Stools, louver doors, coatracks, shelves, frames, bulletin boards, ceiling fans, anything with detailed carving or grooves.

How to apply:
  • Wood is porous and must be sealed before you paint it. Apply a coat of aerosol primer to any wood surface, even if it is varnished. Sanding glossy or raw wood beforehand will result in a better finish with fewer coats.
  • Before painting a ceiling fan's wooden blades, remove them, then spray them separately.
RS paint pick: Kilz Odorless Aerosol Sealer-Primer (white only, about $5,kilz.com) and Krylon Interior-Exterior (62 colors, shown in Celery, $5.50 krylon.com for store locations).

Also try: To simulate the look of metal on wooden objects, use Krylon Metallic Enamel Paint (17 colors, about $5, krylon.com for store locations) or Rust-Oleum Clean Metal Primer (white only, $5, rustoleum.com).

Florsheim Shoes {closed}

Thank you to all that entered and congrats to EMMA for winning!  xo You know when you first meet a handsome boy, in my case it was a bar, and everything about him is near perfect. His chiseled features, dark shiny hair, and stunning light blue eyes. Then you look down, and gasp, he's wearing sneakers. Not your run of the mill, fashion forward footwear, but we are talking Nike, Adidas, etc. running shoes. He's wearing them in a bar, with jeans, and a polo. If you're anything like me, the only times tennis shoes are acceptable are on the elliptical machine or running a half marathon. This boy turned out to be the love of my life, and with little resistance I was able to turn him into my fashionable sidekick. With a little help from  Florsheim  you can take your Valentine from sorry to sexy with a pair of shoes courtesy of this luxury brand. I've put together some inspirational looks for you. Just remember, you may not able to c...
