A "Screening" Make Over!
By Danyell Halvorson- Guest Blogger
Hi there, Danyell here!
Here’s a quick and easy change for your bedroom or any wall as wall art!
I picked up this old fireplace screen for $3.00 and a can of spray paint for $4.00.
Thats all you need!
Want to know how I did it? Keep scrolling!
First, I made a mixture of TSP- this is a cleaning solution that a great prep before painting (of any kind). Here’s what the box looks like and you can get it at any home improvement store!
I sprayed down the screen and used a brush and my mixture to scrub it. I finished that off with the hose again and let it dry out in the sun.
Next comes the spray paint! Most any spray paint will do, but one that has a primer in it and that will work on any surface (wood, metal, etc.) works best! This isn’t the paint I used on this piece, but its one of my faves!
I gave it a once over, let it dry, and sprayed a second coat.
Voila! That’s all there is to it!
Once it’s completely dry, you can hang it! I am currently using it above a bed as a temporary headboard, but it can be used as a wall hanging, a “gate” or screen to hide something ugly (I was thinking of hiding the big tub of my daughters toys she has in the corner of the living room).
