Repurposing Your Home Decor

As I've been packing and getting ready to move into my new place, I have been getting rid of a lot of old furniture and decor that doesn't match my new theme. Some of the items, however, I realized I could repurpose. One of my new colors will be chrome, so I decided to buy chrome spray paint at the craft store and change the look of some of the items that do not match my new decor. 

I started with a light green glass vase. I made sure to wipe it of any dust or residue and then gave it two good coats of spray paint. I also did the same to a black porcelain try.





I also had a globe that had a bronze metal base and a tall candle holder that was bronze that I wanted to spray chrome. I used 220 sandpaper first to sand both pieces and use a wet cloth to remove the excess residue before spraying.



This was my first time spray painting to repurpose home decor and I am happy with the results. I cannot wait to incorporate these pieces into my new place!
