3 Fun Projects for Your Leftover Paint

As experts on painting in Orlando, the team at New Ceilings understands that both quality and quantity are important for the successful completion of any painting project. Not only do you need the best paint and primer you can buy, you also need plenty of it so you achieve an even coating and have extra for later touch-ups. However, what should you do if you have plenty more paint sitting around?

When you partner with New Ceilings and Sherwin-Williams, we’ll be able to recreate your exact shade of paint based on a sample of the original, potentially leaving you plenty of excess paint to play around with. For a little something different, here are a few fun and easy DIY projects you can conquer with the help of your leftovers:

• Brighten up your garden. Container gardening is very popular at the current moment, especially for those who live in smaller spaces. If you have a container garden going, use that extra paint to spruce up your pots and planters. You could even use it to finish up your own gardening cart, giving you something fun and functional to enjoy for years.

• Paint your frames to accent your room. If you have any leftover paint from your accents and highlights, you can use that to paint your picture frames and really make a splash on your wall. Or, you could paint your frames with the room’s primary color to create a unique, monochromatic space. Don’t be afraid to play around with textures to bring everything together.

• Hit the nearest garage sale. Painting is one of the easiest and least expensive ways to renovate your house–as well as the furniture in it. All too often, great furniture pieces are overlooked at yard sales because they’re distressed or damaged, but all it takes is a quick coat of paint to make them look great.

Any of these projects should only take an afternoon or two to complete, depending on how in-depth you go with your design. If you find you need more paint for your project, Sherwin-Williams can always get you an exact color match!
