The weather has been much cooler today, so we all got outside to play I did some more spray painting. Yes, the kids have on their pj's. That is one of the best parts of summer, isn't it?
My vintage bike is now red. The first red I used was way too bright and orangy, so I used the rest of my favorite red (Colonial Red by Rustoleum- American Accents). I ran out before I could get finished, but at least it's red and I like it better than the white. We are celebrating July 4th and my mom's 60th birthday at my house this weekend, so I started decorating for it today too.
I painted my planter white and now I think I need to paint the blue part red or green. That is always how it works, isn't it? This is one of my favorite signs. I love this saying.
I painted my metal lawn chairs blue. It is brighter than I expected, but I like it and this color makes me happy.
Here is the color I used. I got it at Wal-Mart for around $2.57. Great price! I didn't even use 2 whole cans.
I also painted my back door red awhile back. I have always wanted a white house with a red door, so I created that look in the back because my house is brick on the front.
A few more American touches...
Hope you are having a great Friday!

WoW what a difference a lil spray makes... I liked it white but LOVE it red... The faucets on the mantel are AWESOME! I wanna come sit a spell...
Beautiful Amy! I love the bike now that it is red....and I think that blue on the chairs is perfect, so perfect in fact that I might pick some up! I think it would look great with my bright green door!! You've done a wonderful job :)
Oh, I love the bike so much better red!! Looks great!! Funny about the planter. Sounds like something I'd do!!

I love the color choice on the bike - red is perfect, and the chairs are brilliant blue. I am really "fancying" the outdoor mantle - brilliant idea!
