a little glass & a little spray paint

After my last post, a blogging friend asked me if I still had all of my glass apothecary jars that were sitting on my piano still in tact. It made me smile when she asked if any had been broken yet because I have 3 boys that just turned 2 so I probably have not even begun to see what boys are truly capable of yet. My girls have been pretty mellow & would never climb up on things or throw things like my boys have already showed signs of. When we got the floors redone I moved those jars to the fireplace mantel where they still sit covered in dust from the redo. Here's proof:

I have big plans though for decorating my fireplace mantel when we get a little more settled.  Did you know I have a thing for sphere shaped objects.  Well I do but every time I went to buy one I couldn't do it because all of the mercury glass ones were too expensive.  That is until I came across....

THIS.....

The below ball I picked up @ the thrift store for a buck but it used to be clear glass.  Then I came across a really cool spray paint.  It is made to sort of mimic mercury glass.  Look after I spray painted the ball how reflective it is.  I love it & can't wait to finish this project.

I also am loving my new floors and am so happy yo be back in our home.

Some fabrics & thrift store treasures that are on the horizon as projects.

Have a great week!
