See that silver bowl and that brownish looking candle holder on the right corner?
Here is what I have done with them:
I am lovin' this color Blue!! Doesn't it just scream SPRING? The Rattan balls are from the Dollar Tree. I hand painted (actually I used a sponge brush) them, using water based acrylic paint. Here's how I did it:BEFORE |
Not much color to them, huh? Just plain old wicker white. |
Here are the paint colors I used:
Sweetheart pink
Lemon Yellow
Lilac
Spa Blue
Tangerine
Mint Julep Green
The paint was all Americana brand, except the Sweetheart Pink was Folk Art.
AFTER!
I love it! I put it in my Garden window, so I can look at it all day!
Happy Spring!(WINK)
