An easy summer DIY idea

Deborah Nelson July 16, 2014

I'm a fan of easy, stylish "do-it-yourself" ideas, and this one fits the bill.  You simply spray paint a bottle to make it white; or any colour you like.  I personally prefer the look of white, since it becomes so clean and fresh. This time of year its great to add some summer flowers, branches or greenery. 0911RL-painted-bottles-625

The trick for a really nice white matte finish is to use spray paint primer.  It gives that flat, almost chalky look to the surface.  The joy is you can use any bottles you have, go through the recycling and see what different shapes and sizes you have.  Clean the glass and then give it a light coat of spray paint.  I spray it as lightly as possible to avoid runs, you can always do a few light coats.

I often use the same vessel in repetition, or you can use a grouping of all different sizes.  It makes a nice summer centerpiece!

Starting to get into the Christmas spirit to be ready for the @ywcahalifax Homes for the Holidays happening November 22-24!  A bit of a natural holiday vibe from my place a few seasons back. This year I'll have it decked a little bit more! 🎄🎄🎄 📷:

Lots more of this extensive renovation to show over the coming months!  A quick shot I snapped of my Chester kitchen which has been drastically transformed since the beginning. Swipe over to see the before shot!  #debnelsondesign #kitchenrenovation #
I used a variety of antiques in this guest room - the bed, chair, blanket and artwork were all items I've collected over time.  I love how they add so much character to a room, the antique charcoal sketch above the bed is dated from the 1800’s

Open shelving is one of my favourite ways to display those items in your kitchen that are both functional and full of character, like cutting boards, dishes, glassware and even quirky bottle openers 📷: @samsonpix⁣
