Got some flowerpots in your backyard? It’s time to give them a gorgeous makeover-the more, the merrier. Go for a solid colour, or a pretty pattern to enhance it. You can even pick an average looking vase or a collection of them and some pints of leftover paint can turn the entire game.

OLD IS GOLD

Sit down and look for all those things that have been scuffling around for years, be it an old cabinet, table, or even a stool, an old chair, etc. Upscale them by giving a fresh coat of paint and making them as good as brand new.

REVIVE AND RETRIEVE

Dab of some paint to update a window frame or window sill. It’s a great way to create an accent in a room; and specially works effectively on those small bathroom windows. A bold colour will work for this one as well.

JAZZ UP YOUR KITCHEN

Revamp your doors or doorways; it can help redefine your living space if you can add a unique design element to it. Use stencils or decals to get pretty fabulous designs.
