An actual before & after

I actually remembered to take before and after photos of a recent project.

Shocker! 

I know.






Not bad for the cost of the spray paint and ten cents for the ceramic owl at a thrift shop.

    Pretty nifty, Dana! Bet you could do that with a ceramic elk, too.

    I think he looks much better in all his new whiteness. His new perch is perfect where he can watch over everything. :)

    Awesome! I wonder if I'd look that great with a coat of spray paint...

    Love it. It's amazing how much a coat of paint can change something.... If only it could revitalize all those macrame frog wall-hangings we grew up with...

    That is fabulous! Have to admit, at first glance, that owl was a wee bit freaky looking; he's much cuter drenched in white paint!

    Oh my gosh! I just saw a big ol' porcelain owl at Goodwill today. I should have bought it and stolen your idea. :)

    Genius. Simply genius. It seriously looks like something you made a pretty penny for from Anthropologie. I'm so inspired now. Bring on the spray paint! :)
