Two of my favorite things

#1. This handy little cleaning sponge (if that's what you call it.)
It does work like magic. I wonder how it works so well. It's a mystery to me, but I highly recommend it. It cleans like MAGIC.
#2. Rust-oleum spray paint. It DOES change everything. I spray painted over several shiny gold surfaces and it worked like MAGIC. Our gold fireplace cover - gone. Now it's a hammered brown color. Several shiny gold frames - gone. Our front porch rusted railing is now a beautiful dark brown. Our big letter "R" that was gold...gone. You get the idea.
