As you probably already know, we have an unbridled love affair here at Charles & Hudson with spray paint. So imagine our glee when we found this project at ECABonline.com, in which Elizabeth DIYed a vintage, leaded-glass window pane into a beautiful antiqued mirror with SPRAY PAINT!
Elizabeth writes that she came by the window pane by way of her parents, and after the great find took a nose dive off of her family mantle, she wanted to find a way to salvage it.
Enter her secret weapon: Krylon Looking Glass spray paint!

After you've selected the color you want and assembled your painting supplies, the first step before applying the paint is prepping your wall surface. The most high quality paint will have a tough time adhering properly to a surface that is dirty, moldy or in any way not ready to accept paint.
There's now an iPhone app called PaintRemedy, developed by the Paint Quality Institute (a Dow Chemical Company), that allows you to identify your type of wall prep issue and provides you with a solution for fixing the wall and properly prepping it before painting.
More info about this iPhone app.
