Spray Painting in the Snow


When a girl's got to spray paint, a girl's got to spray paint. You don't hear people saying "Oh Santa, it's all snowy outside. Why don't you just wait for a nice day to deliver gifts?"

I have a fire in the fireplace, a cup of hot cinnamon tea, Christmas music on Pandora, and all of my Christmas decorations waiting eagerly to be displayed. I picked up some clear glass candlesticks at the thrift store yesterday and had to get them painted. But it snowed. As Tim Gunn would say, "Make it work!"

Right after I took that picture I went to bring them inside. As I was bending down, a huge pile of snow slid off the roof and onto my head and the candlesticks, ruining the not-quite-dry paint job.

Moral of the story: paint in a dry place. But not in your living room. Not that I tried that. I'm just saying that I personally find silver wood floors to be very holiday-ish.

I don't want to laugh but that is exactly something that would happen to me! Sorry they were ruined. Hopefully you get a dry spot to fix them asap.

I had to laugh because I'm currently trying to spray paint pieces of a bed I'm refinishing, but it's so cold the paint won't dry! Ah, the joy of winter projects.
