With the change in season, it would be nice to make a few changes in your home to bring a new fresh look to your space. But no one wants to dish out the dough for that. We’d much rather spend it on a summer vacation.

But what if you could have both?

Well, you can if you use spray paint. Spray paint can completely change the way items in your home looks and it will cost you less than $10 a can!

Here are 15 transformative spray paint projects that won’t break the bank:

1) Make Unique Outdoor Furniture

7) Curtain Rods That Match Your Decor

Curtain rods often come in standard colors like black or white. But not if you use spray paint. Use metallics to turn them silver or gold or use a sparkle spray paint to bring some whimsy into the room.
