Spray your brick fireplace

BRICKWALL

Is your brick fireplace or wood stove wall looking a bit too Brady Bunch? Change it up with a quick spray of chalk paint using the Studio Pro or FLEXiO® 5000 sprayer. Both sprayers spray chalk paint with ease and can instantly bring your brick facade into the current decade.

To begin, cover the floor surround the brice facade with a drop cloth and use painter's tape to cover corners and items you want to keep paint-free. Then, clean off the brick with a whisk broom and vacuum crevices to remove all loose dirt and dust. Fill the front end of the paint sprayer with the paint color of your choice. We used Annie Sloan chalk paint in Paris Grey. Begin close to the ceiling and spray in a horizontal pattern from left to right, keeping the sprayer about three inches away from the surface. Repeat and overlap to cover thoroughly. To paint the surface of the floor, hold the paint sprayer downward at a 45 degree angle.

Redo

Dress up a guest room for winter fun with a mix of Wagner paint tools and a plethora of decorative treatments.

WINTERWonderlandUsing Paint Big paint projects may require a few gallons to transform an entire room, but Wagner paint sprayers use paint more efficiently than a brush and require a third less paint than a traditional roller. Why just paint a wall when you can wallscape it? Employ your Wagner paint tools and, in just a few steps, give your room a fresh new shade and a graphic design that will pop. Let these versatile tools use paint wisely and leave you with your own personal design style.

CHALLENGEDesign

Two designers, a Home Décor sprayer, and a basic box store side table looking for its own unique personality.

Let the spray down begin.

express you rself.

Cathe HoldenLifestyle maven of the Inspired Barn in Petalum, California, Cathe was inspired by the wood grain drawers of the side table stand and instantly thought of old cigar boxes. She began by spraying the base of the unit leather brown and then applied decoupaged cigar box details with mod podge and the Furno heat gun.

Debra NortonMaker, blogger, and DIY columnist for the Toronto Star app Star Touch, Debra instantly thought of the trendy color emerald green with a shiny lacquer. She began by using

painter's tape to mask some of the wood finish to create graphic contrast on the legs and then loaded the sprayer with high gloss latex paint. A paint sprayer is the perfect way to mimic a lacquer finish, as it never has brush marks.

CIGAR BOX SIDE TABLERich and dark with a sense of vintage is a great way to describe Cathe Holden's completed cigar box side table. The Home Décor sprayer and Furno heat gun made it all easy and doable. Find the cigar box printables in Cathe's Etsy shop.
