A little Paint Therapy
January 7, 2013 by admin • 22 Comments
Hi Y’all! I hope you’re keeping warm on this cold winter day. The sun is trying to peek out and hopefully the sunshine will bring some warmer temperatures our way. I’m still working on some small vignettes around the house after putting away Christmas. Just for fun I decided to use some gold spray paint on a couple of accent pieces that I’m planning on using in a vignette, either on the bookshelf or on the coffee table.
Here are the before and afters:
The oval shaped bowl or vase filled with faux hydrangeas, plain before the paint treatment.
Before…a ball of metal strips.
After… a little glam ~
Very simple look before…a bit more sophisticated after the touch of paint was applied. I used painter’s tape on this one to get a smooth line. I think I may have to give the little “feet” a paint treatment as well.
Oh, there is some paint left in the can….let’s see what else I can paint and transform.
I hope you’re having a fantastic week… I love it when you stop by!

Thank you Martina, very nice of you to comment. I really appreciate it. Have a blessed week!
Very nice! Great idea. Stopping by from Cowgirl Up!
What fun! It reminds me of the gold edging on old and fancy plates. Great idea.

Me again! I love this project to and am pinning for the future. The gold looks just perfect on the bowl!

Thanks Angela, so glad you like it!
I always wondered what the gold spray paint would look like. Thank you for sharing this. I’m sure there will be a lot of us grabbing the paint to try. I love your imagination & talent!
Thanks for the sweet comment, Karen. I really appreciate it. Have a nice week ahead!
Beautiful! Amazing what a little paint can do. Definitely added some glam factor. I am impressed by the quality of the metallic paint, by Valspar.
Great idea and work.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a sweet comment. This is good quality paint for sure.
Pretty!
Isn’t it amazing what a little bit of paint will do? Very pretty.

A great idea! And now I know you grew up in Germany. I was trying to find out what Zu Haus meant and I finally figured it was german for at home. duh!
Wow these look amazing! I would think they were brand new from a store.
I host a link party every Thursday – I’d love you have you join and share this.
Thank you for the great post!
