First Post

Soooo here it is...my first blog post, I must say, I am pretty excited!!! 

and I hope it works, since I am new to all of this. 

I started this blog as a diary to memorialize my life, just the day to day stuff, 

the events that make me happy. 

Today I was productive, 

a home improvement project of sorts that I normally would not take on. 

The front house lights were dull, weathered and in desperate need of replacement. 

I recently read a complete strangers blog, 

she had painted the light on the outside of her house 

(among other things) and I thought, 

I can do that and save a ton of money. 

So I did it, with a little (o.k., a lot) of help from my darling husband. 

Now, let's take a look at the before and after photos...

this is the light before...

after a LOT of taping...

drum roll...drum roll, please...

the finished product, 

now isn't that a beauty...almost unbelievable. 

It looks like a brand new light.

Just 3 coats of spay paint and a lot of taping, the cost was under $ 5.00. 

I forgot to say that we did a total of 3 lights, 3 coats each. 

If this post actually posts, (my second try) I will post pics of the other 2 lights.

Fingers crossed!
