But store bought items were not in the budget. I had a brainstorm. We have a pile of roofing shingles left over. They were gray/black. So I drove to my favorite store and bought some dark brown spray paint. I sprayed a bunch of the shingles and boy did they come out sweet. They were so tough yet flexible I could manipulate them into curved shapes and they matched the ground so closely they are barely visible against the dirt. It's like magic and now I can make raised flower beds any color I want. I even have one that has two shingle retaining walls that gives me an extra high flower bed. Cheap, cheap way to get exactly what I needed. For all my little garden spots I've even come to like this better than the store bought stuff.Menollysingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10148909063758188359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-36989064798629069182013-09-17T09:51:09.836-04:002013-09-17T09:51:09.836-04:00wow, those new lamps even made you make the bed- h...wow, those new lamps even made you make the bed- ha ha!!!<br /><br />love them- genius look! can't wait to see how it all turns outAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-8770748174083225532013-09-17T09:46:06.108-04:002013-09-17T09:46:06.108-04:00The navy was a good choice.

It's amazing how quickly you can transform an object from old and unused to new and totally usable.

I love what your doing in this room, okay your whole house!!! <br />The last thing I spray painted and absolutely love....the twin bed I used as a child, which is now set up to be used by my two year old grand-daughter on the nights when she sleeps over with us. The room was her daddy's room, so I think that is pretty cool too. I had tried to sand down the horrible stain and years of wear. Gave up and after reading on a couple of blogs about spray painting furniture, thought what the heck. So, the bed is now a very pretty matte white. Love it!<br />Good luck with your room!<br />VanessaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-65854934765535979502013-09-17T07:53:10.561-04:002013-09-17T07:53:10.561-04:00I love the navy blue.

I've watched alot of bloggers change over the years and let's just say I appreciate you! As for the lamps, adorable!!! I am redoing my bedroom as well. It's been emotional (my husband passed away a year ago) to make a bedroom just for me, but I am loving it. I spray painted a gorgeous sunburst mirror this weekend. Hopefully when I'm all done I'll share on your linky party. I think adding a touch of kiwi with the navy would be A-Maz-ing!!! in your room!

My last ones were like yours- not quite a match to the bedding (grey/purple/mint)but provided that POP of color and drama- teal. Your navy looks great!<br />I've also done faux-mercury glass and sprayed my fireplace frame with spray paint! I love it! And, I believe that you were the one that first got me excited about spray paint!
