Simple Fixin

Hello everyone!  It has been way too long since I've last posted...oh how I've missed the blogosphere!  January has taking me by storm and I'm just now starting to feel like I've got the hang of it.  Back to school, off the Christmas high and trying to live everyday life a little less hectic and a little more healthy.  Whew, maybe I need a vacation!

One thing I've been trying to focus on is getting some random projects done around my house.  I am a huge fan of Pinterest and have pinned so many amazing ideas that I intend to put to use around the house.  One such idea was transforming my outdated gold heater vents.  I live in a mostly original 1967 house that is in need of a lot of tender loving care.  I absolutely love it when I stumble across such an easy update project that won't cost a ton of money.

So here's what I did.  I took all my heater vents (mine are in the floor in each room of the house) and laid them outside on a piece of scrap cardboard.  After giving them a good brushing, I simply spray painted them bronze.  After they dried I popped them back into place and wa-la...instant update for under $5 (cost of one can of spray paint)!

Pretty simply, right?  I love it when that happens.  I really love quick & simple changes that make my home feel more updated and give it a clean look, especially when my project list includes a lot of time consuming and expensive updates.  Want to see more ideas on fixin up your home?  Visit my Pinterest page.
