As a Lowe’s Creative Ideas Creator & Influencer, our challenge this month was to “Make our House Sparkle for the New Year”. My first thought was GLITTER Spray paint! I’m also giving away a $75 gift Card to Lowe’s! 
I usually don’t decorate for New Years Eve. But I do like to represent “winter” after all the Christmas decorations are put away. Each year, I buy white poinsettias because they cross over into January easier than the red ones. Why not make THEM sparkle? Any excuse to play with glitter, right? 
Valspar makes a great glitter spray paint in several colors. They had green, red, silver and gold at my local Lowes. I chose the silver, took my poinsettias outside and got busy. (I also got my Poinsettia’s there…..they had BIG ones for much less) Because this glitter spray paint is very light, there was no fear in coating the flower completely. It’s just enough to give it a nice sheen when the sun or light hits it. If I WAS decorating for New Years Eve, these would be perfect! They’ll also be perfect to move me into January.
Of course this can be done with red poinsettias too. It’s all personal preference. It was hard to really capture how shimmery they turned out. They really are beautiful. This project is SO simple and doesn’t take a special skill…. my kind of project!

Spray Paint for texture on some pots and some wood tomake some shelves for my scrapping room. And some extra lighting. And some new indoor plants. So many ideas!
New bathroom floor thanks
LOVE the glitter idea! So simple, yet very beautiful touch!
I need more spray paint. I already have a lot, but I have another project in the works that requires a color I don’t already have, isn’t that always the case. Sorry I can’t disclose the details specifically but I am pretty sure it is going to be awesome! Mirror is the only clue I can give right now.
Here’s the rub: We just built a new house so there are about 3.7 million ways I could spend $75. Paint, brushes, paintable wallpaper, tile, tin tiles, lumber for a few more shelving units I want to make, beadboard, crowne moulding, etc… INFINITY! Really, I wish there was a way to win a $75,000 Lowes gift card. As it is right now, it feels like we might as well just sign over our paychecks to them.
And no, I’m not complaining! I feel blessed as a girl can feel to be in this ‘predicament’.
Our son is due for a room-makeover and a bathroom seriously needs to have wallpaper removed. ‘nuf said.
Merry Christmas!
