How was your Mother’s Day my friends? Besides hurting my back and barely being able to move, I had a good one. My sweet kiddos made me breakfast on the patio. I melts my heart to see them so excited about doing something niece for me and I always love reading their sweet cards. I wish this time would never pass.

Even though my back hurt, I was still able to paint a little somethin-somethin.

I bought myself another Bromelia and the only pot I had in the house was this plain white Ikea pot that just wasn’t doing it for me at all. Too boring in an all white kitchen.

Kilz had sent me their Adhesion primer to try out a while back and I thought this flower pot was the perfect chance to give it a try before possibly tackling a larger project. The primer is water-based and specifically formulated to bond to a variety of ‘tough-to-paint’ surfaces like for example glossy surfaces.

After I cleaned the flower pot I gave it two coats of the Kilz Adhesion primer.
Then I decided on Valspar’s brushed rose for the pot color.
It’s a small project but I love the outcome and the primer worked great on the pot and with the spray paint.
Such a pretty color! Isn’t it?
