Moms are all about getting things done. And as a mom, making your living space look neat is paramount to an enjoyable life. You don’t have to spend hundreds of dollars on home improvement jobs.

Whether you are a stay at home or single mom, there are some simple painting jobs you can do using spray paint.

The good thing about using spray paint is that it does not require any kind of mixing. It also doesn’t require great painting techniques as in the case of using a paintbrush. You just need to buy your favorite type of spray to get things going.

Here are 5 ways you can use spray paint in your home.

1. Revamp Lighting Fixtures

Dingy lighting fixtures are likely to rust or lose their original glare after a few months or years. This is common due to steam from the cooking area and soot.

 

You can give your lighting fixtures a whole new look by spray-painting them with a golden or silver coat. This will eliminate the bleak look of your rooms and make everyday objects shine.

 

2. Give Your Rubber Boots a New Look

As a handy mom, you will find yourself rocking your rubber boots on most occasions. Dirt sticks on the sides over time, making these handy shoes lose shape and look beaten-up. Although rubber boots are not much of a fashion item, spray painting them can make them look brand new. You can use masking tape to create some unique patterns around your boots or even do a complete color swap. This will give you the best feeling when rocking your boots during winter and rainy seasons.

 

3. Try Mirrored Gazing Balls

Taking time to improve your outdoor decor can make your home look amazing. One of the things to consider is giving the gazing balls in your garden a whole new look.

 

If your gazing balls are already in bad shape, replacing them is not an option because they are very expensive. A simple DIY spray-paint can improve the look of your garden completely. All you need is to buy a mirror spray paint from ThePaintStore.com, which will make your gazing balls like-new in a few minutes. Ensure you wipe every gazing ball thoroughly and give each time to dry before spraying.

 

4. Faucets and Door Knobs

Door knobs, bathroom and kitchen faucets can get rusty with time. As a mom, it’s easy to retain that silver look on your faucets by spray painting them yourself.

 

Before you do anything, make sure you remove kitchen utensils, towels or any other object near the faucets before spraying. One of the easiest ways to avoid the paint spraying on unintended places is covering the surrounding parts with disposable paper.

 

For the door knobs, be more creative by selecting different colors depending on the theme of your house.

 

5. Outdoor Furniture

Different weather elements can take a toll on the look of your outdoor furniture. If your chairs or tables are already in bad shape, spray paint is perfect to use for a quick touch up. You will need to do a simple sanding to remove the old paint before re-coloring your wooden furniture. If you have metallic chairs or tables, however, a simple wash is enough to prepare your furniture for spray paint. Select your favorite color and get going.

 

Bottom Line

Even busy moms can drastically touch up their homes with the right brand of spray paint. All you need is to get the right products from the best brands, clean up the surface you want to paint and dive right into it. Your wallet will thank you!
