1) It's easy.
2) It's cheap.
3) It's fast.
4) It makes everything look better.
The only problem - it's not a winter activity. So, I've been spray painting everything that's not nailed down lately. I know my days are numbered. Even if it means leaving a few projects unfinished for a while. Weather can definitely determine which project gets done each day. And the last week, we had awesome weather. It was a spray painting bonanza here. I was able to transform my old hotel art frames (check that out here) and a few smaller projects. Like this old vase -
I have a bunch of these old vases from various bouquets I've received (from who knows what). I never know what to do with them but for some reason, I have hung onto them. I painted one a while ago -
And I love the way it turned out. So I decided to go for it again. But this time, I went with Krylon Global Blue. I had it left over from this little makeover -
After a few light coats of paint (inside and out), I ended up with this -
Cute, easy, fast, and free. My favorite combination. But, now that the weather has turned a bit rainy and cold, my to do list has moved inside for a few months. My spray painting days are probably over for a while...

I wonder if you could use the Looking Glass spray paint to do a faux mercury glass vase? Maybe I need to try it with some of my old vases!
