I bought a little brass side table at an estate sale this winter for $5.00. I knew I was going to spray paint it but I had no idea what color until I remembered Traci's post about using oil rubbed brass paint on her door knobs and faucets. Perfect!

Here's the before:

I used Rust-Oleum Oil Rubbed Bronze spray paint that I found @ The Home Depot.

And a few after:

I'm really impressed with this spray paint. Unfortunately, the pictures don't do it justice. The finish is so pretty with just a hint of metallic - just like oil rubbed brass! Now I'm walking around my house looking for other things that could use a little ORB.

Looks great Alissa, especially with the brown lawn furniture. I may have to keep my eye on other brass items now. I never knew what to do with them before.
