Paint jobs

One of my newest projects is painting. I love changing up the looks of accessories with just a dash of paint - like this bird feeder! I changed the colour from a very pale shade of yellow to this bright red. I love how it brings out the white and looks a little like a Swedish cabin house ...

It will need a few more coats of paint and some retouching with white to be perfect, but I'm already falling in love with this bird feeder. Another really fun painting project is personalising picture frames. I've painted and decorated a few on a maritime theme in a shade of off-white and glued some shells I found in Cornwall to the frame. I'm dying to make blue frames soon, but at the moment, I'm making a very special one in the same red the bird feeder is in.

Painting is such a tranquil and wonderful pastime. Applying the first coat of paint, waiting for it to dry and keep painting again. I can't wait until it's warm enough to paint outside in the sun!
What's more, these creative paint jobs are the perfect homemade gift ideas! Nothing like a lovely picture frame you painted and decorated yourself with a lovely picture of you and your best friend! Add a little bag of homemade cookies or a cake and you'll make their day!

So, get creative and inspired everyone! I'm getting back to painting now!
