My best friend is spray paint. I buy several cans at a time of Heirloom White, Colonial Red and Harbor Blue at Home Depot.
Each one of my children has seen me blast away at my targets with a can of spray paint. My youngest Lily thought it looked like fun and, indeed it is! I know how important it is to teach our children the important things in life: a relationship with Jesus, respect, manners, kindness, healthy eating and exercise…..and what one can do with a can of spray paint.
It was 65 degrees in Denver (crazy warm for this time of year). At a time when normally I could not be outside due to freezing temps, I dragged out the table and Harbor Blue spray paint.
This little white secretary table was a cheap Craig’s List find; $20. It was in perfect condition but I’ve never seen a piece that couldn’t be re-painted needed or not!
Here Lily gets a start on the spraying. You really can’t mess up a shabby style.
Guess who got the table? Lily loved how it turned out and I think she was proud of finishing it herself. She had her brother deliver it to her bedroom and set it up will all her girly things; mirror, make up, hair brush and curling irons... She loves it and I do too!

The blue color is awesome!!! I need to try a blue like that. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Cindy,
That's a great idea! Teach her that castaways can be repurposed and remade to look pretty again.
She did a very good job and I love how she is using it.

Really good craigsList find. I think the blue is a perfect choice. Fun knobs might be the next thing to try, depending upon the room it is used in.
That is a beautiful shade of blue. Your daughter did a great job with it.

That blue color is so pretty and that desk is so sweet. I was just at a friend's home and was amazed at all her Craig's List pieces she had...unbelievable. They were all beautiful. Now I am on the look out at Criag's to find a new bedroom armoire. :)
