Home Improvement: Rustoleum

And now, a word from our sponsors...just kidding, I don't have sponsors, but if I did, one of them would surely be Rustoleum. Over the years, my husband and I have used a ridiculous amount of their products for various projects. In some cases, it's just a great way to save money. In others, it's the only way to really salvage an object. In all cases, Rustoleum is hands down the best spray paint known to man. It sticks to anything, and man does it stick. Plus the whole rust prevention thing is great.

In previous posts you saw two of my favorite colors: Green Apple and Seaside. One gave new life to an old metal chair I bought at an antiques market for $20 bucks, the other to a faded and oxidized plastic flower pot that came with the Project House.

As mentioned before, one of the few working original pieces of the house was the doorbell. Both the inside and outside parts needed refinished though. The inside cover for the chimes is of course plastic and was once yellow, but had since faded to that nasty yellow that old plastic turns. Replacing it is of course not an option, so I painted it with the same metallic black that I painted the exterior button with. Better than new!
