Do You Sea What I Sea?


Why pay the big bucks for Pottery Barn's beautiful coral?


When you can take some seriously UGLY faux coral from the thrift shop ($1.95)



Spray on a little Heirloom White paint



And bring a touch of the ocean to your home?



Can you tell I wish summer would come?

May your day be cheap and chic!

    Not only does it look good, but you can use it as a back scratcher!

    You are my re-painting idol. No joke. The downside ... if I ever get around to tackling my own re-paint projects, I've got you in my sights to email for advice!! ;)
