It's cold and rainy here in SC so my big furniture projects are on hold for awhile... In the meantime, I'm painting the little things that I find along the way. Sometimes, I see a piece that leads me to some inspiration. Like this beautiful ring dish from Mackenzie-Childs. I love the colors and the bird!
Enter ugly pieces from a craft store... I know these are hideous, but you have to look past the finish - just like old furniture. If the form is good, then you can re-create and paint just about anything.
I bought these not sure what I was going to do with them....and then I kept looking at the birds on top. Hmmmm.....
So I gave them a coat of chalk paint....
And started to add color....
And checks and stripes....
And then a clear coat of poly to seal the paint and make them shiny.
The weather made it difficult to get a good picture, but hopefully you can see how pretty they turned out. :)
Don't be afraid to try something like this. You can do it!
