spare me.




Before you kick it to the curb, try a little spray therapy. 



The inspiration:



the offending party:
 
Which actually looks nice in this photo. In real life, the frame is having a 90s Indonesian 'Moment'. Fake orangey distressing and all.



spray, spray, spray 

...and....


Try as I might, I couldn't get the color right in this photo. It's actually the color of the inspiration photo. And it's really cute. Much cuter than before.

Off to find what else I can spray I mean, spare.

"David Hicks is on the phone for you"


Do It Yourself. Customized, designer, wallpaper for your iphone.

1) search on your iphone browser for the wallpaper you want. I searched 'david hicks, Clarence house'
2) choose images and click on the image you want to enlarge to full screen.
3) hold the dimpled button and the on-off button on the top right similtaneously until you hear it 'photograph' the screen. 
4) go into 'Settings' - 'Wallpaper' and choose the photo from your 'Camera Roll'.




easy peasy. Also, it's like my on-line shopping trick: buy it, stick it in your 'shopping cart' and then leave it for a few days. I usually feel the itch satiated.  This keeps me from buying the real thing at every whim to change out a fabric or wall around here. Something I'd be doing every month if allowed.

I am a firm believer in spray paint! It has helped me meet so many design deadlines I think your blog is wonderful.

This is such a great idea, and I love the bright color of the frame. It's fun to give old things a second chance.

I do this same thing when I'm shopping on-line: I put the object of desire into the cart and wait until I'm a little less hungry. Usually, I do not buy the item, but sometimes, it keeps calling to me.

thanks you guys! Miller, I just used Rustoleum's 'Aqua'
a friend of mine used 'Lagoon' but I felt it wasn't zingy enough. I think if you're going to do it, make it vibrate!

Great tips all around. I just bought a couple of slightly rusty black "Bertoia-ish" patio chairs at a garage sale. Rustoleum's Aqua would be perfect.
