It's very hard for me to buy something and not "modify" it. Almost everything I buy is because it's almost what I need, but not quite. It may need refinishing, or spray painted, or recovered. I just can't help it. So this post is dedicated to many of the "before & after" pictures I've taken of things throughout the years. If you want to know more information about something, just let me know!

Looking at these pictures I noticed 2 things. 1. I love to spraypaint things. It's so easy to completely change the way something looks with a few coats of paint. So easy and so cheap! 2. I like to spraypaint things in my grass. =) I probably shouldn't do that, but it grows so stinkin' fast you hardly notice. If it makes it any better, I only spraypaint in the backyard where no one can see my spots. Haha!
