Small paint projects with big impact

     

    Maybe you can't change an entire room with a small project, but one small project can potentially change your mood. 

    A series of small projects, can absolutely change the mood of the room.

     All you need is one brush, one jar, and 20 minutes to change the vibe, either yours...or the room.

    You see, there’s something magical about tiny paint projects.
    They don’t demand your whole weekend.
    They don’t stare at you from across the room like a guilty half-finished commitment.
    They don’t even require sanding your entire soul into dust.

    But they do give you solid hits of dopamine and the satisfaction of a completed project...and if you want that satisfaction in record time...use SeaPaints. ( they dry in three minutes- perfectly formulated for the ADHD brain or the impatient souls.)

    Let's get into it


    1. Painted Jars: 

    You know those jars you were definitely going to throw away but didn’t?
    Paint them. Take a few minutes to lose yourself in the rhythmic stroke of the brush and as a bonus? A cute "new" toothbrush holder or utensil holder. Or cotton balls... qtips. You pick..this is your world....I'm just living in it.

    a few more ideas...just in case you need them

    • pen holders

    • makeup brush organizers

    • bathroom shelf cuties

    • flower vases

    • gift containers


    2. Picture Frames 

    Take the world’s ugliest thrift-store frame.
    Add paint.
    BAM.

    Instant art gallery energy.

    Small frames are perfect for:

    • color-matching your décor

    • adding splashes of color to a room

    • making a space feel curated (even if everything came from the clearance aisle)


     3. Painted Terra Cotta Pots 

    Got plants?
    Give their homes a makeover.

    Terra cotta pots love SeaPaints because the finish dries soft and smooth and they adhere to them like a crafty dream.


    4. Drawer Pulls & Knobs:

    You want a 60-second home makeover?
    Paint your knobs.

    Nightstands, dressers, kitchen cabinets ...one tiny touch of color can change the entire vibe of a room.

    This is chef’s kiss for renters, minimalists, or chaos gremlins who crave change. Hello. I'm a gremlin too.


     5. Coasters & Trays

    You can also use a hanging mirror to convert to a "tray" like I did in the picture above.

    Try:

    • wood coasters

    • small trays

    • and more

    The impact can be huge because you see these items every day and tiny bursts of color can genuinely lift your mood.


    6. Candlesticks

     

    Most of us have a set of these laying around. I know I've collected at least half a dozen of them from thrift stores simply because I'm a major candle lover and I can't resist little projects like this. They give me that perfect little crafty dopamine hit.

    This is perfect for my ADHD because I can finish it fast and feel accomplished immediately. If you're a fellow squirrel like me...you'll get what I mean.


     Small Projects Can Change Your State of Mind

    here's a few perks...

    • mood boost

    • creative release

    • visual transformation (instantly satisfying)

    • helps calm your nervous-system 

    • the satisfaction of finishing something 

    • and the joy of seeing beauty in unexpected places

    You don’t need a full room makeover
    or a giant renovation
    or a weekend-long commitment to finally get crafty.

    You just need a jars of SeaPaints and a few minutes where you choose color over chaos.


    If you've been wanting to start crafting, but aren't sure where to start....start small. Let SeaPaints turn your tiny moments into crafty calm and your home... into your favorite version of the rainbow...whatever colors they may be.
