It's Going to be a Golden Afternoon

One more goal for the weekend is to upcycle some things that I'm tired of looking at but can't quite part with yet. Mostly, I'm just going to spray paint stuff until I like it again. Spray painting is extremely satisfying (it's quick, easy and you can't mess it up) so I'll probably go crazy and the next day ask myself why everything is now metallic gold. So far I only have a few a things that are definitely getting the gilded treatment.

1) a 1.5 ft tall gnome that was meant for the garden but alas, I have no garden. Once, he's shiny he'll be kitschy and cute and a perfect kitchen mascot.
2) a clear glass candy dish with a lid. It's actually fairly old but has no real significance so guess what! GOLD! 

3) assorted picture frames that are going to go on my living room wall behind the TV. It's a pretty high wall and the plan is to have a lovely collage of pictures and frames on it like below except more gold :)
