Spray Paint A Jewelry Box With A Paint Sprayer
You know sometimes I forget how handy my paint sprayer is! I started painting this project with a paint brush…..
After one coat of paint it looked like this…..
The crevices were really hard to get into with a brush. I didn’t want to spend hours painting this piece so I pulled out my HomerRight Finish Max Paint Sprayer. I don’t know why I didn’t think of it before. Probably because I only use the paint sprayer for furniture…..until now. I learned my lesson on this one.
I’ve had this chest for a while. I bought it when I went junk shopping with my friend Beth of Farm Fresh Vintage Finds. We have such fun together.
The paint sprayer is easy to operate. Just fill the white container with paint….water the paint don’t just a bit, screw the paint canister onto the spray gun, plug it in and spray. By the way…..the color is Junktion Red!
Another reason I decided to use the paint sprayer is because the inside with shelves and all those surfaces and corners are difficult to paint with a brush. It’s kind-of like painting a bookcase. I really don’t like painting bookcases. Those things have a lot of surface area.
I distressed all those lovely tacks and strips of wood.
I think it looks great. The ring toss is a purchase from the Nashville Flea Market. I’m a sucker for vintage games.
Take a look at the metal locker I painted with the paint sprayer here….Metal Locker with Graduated Paint

HI Kathy~ Thank you for sharing this giveaway and your projects are beautiful. I will be looking for to your new paint color Junktion Red. Your outcome on your projects with the sprayer is fantastic. You make it look so simple.
HomeRight here I come (after I win!!!) Need to do soooo many projects and spray cans ain’t where it’s at!!!
I have soooo many projects lined up, just finished a dining set that I did with a brush, that I sold, but I seriously NEED a sprayer. Current paint projects in my garage: 2 bookcases to entryway drop spot, 2 dining buffets to dressers for my girls, a hutch to tv stand, paint the piano, tables, a rocking chair.
I love the chest and the color choice. Your projects are just wonderful!
I especially love the last project table in the turquoise color paint then distressed. So many cute nooks or corners it could be used for in decor. Enjoyed this post throughly and love your blogs name! Have fun with your #diy’s and I look forward to you post to flow through my inbox on subscription.
Thank you for the chance to win this paint sprayer. Sure could use it on several projects waiting on me.
I already have a HomeRight Paint Sprayer (that I love) but wanted to comment on all your gorgeous sprayed pieces. Doesn’t it make the job so much easier!!! I used the air nozzle attachment on mine to clean out between the keys on my laptop – worked like a charm!
Love-love your yellow set. It’s such a bright color, and makes me smile just looking at it.
