My first home project

If you've visited our old house, you'll remember our pale green, cardboard moose head hanging in the man room (via cardboardsafari.com).  I guess at some point we thought that green color was fine - but it started to feel drab.  So, after lots of searching for the perfect "rattle can" color, I found this vibrant turquoise color.  


If you live in Seattle and need a fun spray point color... go to the UW BOOKSTORE!  A very smart clerk at City Peoples (who was a UW art major) told me about their fabulous paint collection.  The cans are about $2 more than those at Home Depot, but they cover much smoother and dry very fast... and there were about 95 cool colors.  I got to choose from about 5 different shades of turquoise.

Project cost:  $15.  This guy will hang above our fireplace; he's a reminder of our old house.  The color will really pop on the steel fireplace... oh, did I mention, I changed my fireplace design... again?
