Johnny In A Dress: Baby Gate.

Thursday, July 28, 2011

Baby Gate.

In the doorway of our kitchen leading into the mudroom, there is a RED gate...

It used to be plain and blah... boring and dull... until I had an idea...

SPRAY PAINT the baby gate!

What?!

You aren't surprised?!

Now our boring, blah baby gate is fabulous and fun!

When in doubt, spray paint the boring out!

I am linking this post here here here here here here and to these awesome places!

I'm so glad to see this! We have a gate we used outside for a short time on our back porch and it looks awful now and I wanted to bring it back in the house and was thinking of spray painting it so it doesn't look so bad. Glad to see it works Thanks!!

I don't have little kids, but I think your idea to paint your baby gate is genius. I even featured it on my "Metamorphosis Monday" post today! As I say in the post, the paint gives the baby gate panache, if that's possible!

I love that idea, we just so happen to have one that keeps our puppies corraled when we leave that is dying for some much needed paint. Awesome idea! : )..
