My front porch light is so ugly that you just have to like it. I am all about keeping things around that the original owners chose. I loved them and knowing they chose it means a lot. But some things can stay but need to be....improved.
Sadly I cannot find a before picture. I was so giddy to start that I guess I forgot. Luckily after I posted this an anonymous reader left a comment that I had a before picture in the previous post. So here it is! A tiny bit of it. But enough to realize why I've done what I've done.
And re-taped the Braum's bags when they repeatedly fell.

The finish is amazing!

Since I'd fallen in love with the spray paint at this time I started looking for other things to do. I didn't have to look far. Yep, ugly house numbers. Let's not talk about the chipped and peeling paint around them. Okay? I can't handle that. I'm still on this natural high you see. And no, it's not from the paint fumes.

If you said yes, are you sure?
It's unconventional. It's unknown. It's frightening. It's unheard of.
My white tile kitchen back splash.
Stay tuned...

Looks good, but I think I would put some clear glass back in it.
Your "before" picture is in the previous post....
Great job!
I love hammered paint!
I think some frosted glass would look lovely in the light fixture.
Thanks for following me at Tragedy-Strikes. You were just in time for me to get found out by my nemesis and I had to start a new blog. Sigh. If you would like the URL for the new place, send me an email.
You are outta control with that can of spray paint - but I love it! Maybe I can do my porch light & mail box - thanks for giving me another thing to put on my 'to do' list!
Just one question: wouldn't it have been easier to take the numbers off the house, paint them, and then put them back?
I like it - I think I'd put clear glass. Can't wait to see the tile painted in the kitchen - I've thought of doing that too.
It looks great. I would go with clear glass. I cannot wait to see your back splash. You are very brave!
Love the look of it I think it needs some clear glass too. Can't wait to see what you are up to next!!
