DIY: Six Simple Paint Projects

Every time I blog about DIY project ideas, I get such a great response from you! I suppose it's because we love learning new ways to spruce up the things we already own...you can give new life to just about anything by adding a small embellishment, fresh coat of paint, etc. Today's post covers six simple projects using just a little bit of paint and maybe a stencil or two. Click on the link below each image to learn exactly how to DIY. My favorite is the one just below, with the stenciled birdcage on a bamboo shade!
