I Can't Stop Painting Things White

So I may have a problem. I can't stop spray painting things! I am ADDICTED! It's like magic and makes everything shiny and new!!

Here are a few thrift store items I picked up yesterday at Goodwill and already brought them back to life! Yep I am in love with the Goodwill we just moved next to. Ha ha

Here is what I found.

A cool decorative gold box, 3 candle holders and a vintage serving bowl with neat handle. I am new to thrift-ing so I don't know the correct terms for things yet! Ha.

And then with the magic of spray paint, they are transformed!!

I am revamping my current hutch with all white items so these will work out fabulous...and only $10.00 for all these plus spray paint!

Stay tuned for my Tiffany & Co inspired revamp on my hutch! I am super excited about that project!

xoxo

At February 25, 2011 at 2:17 PM , Designs on 47th Street said...: Those do look great. Did you paint them with primer or anything to make the paint stick? Isn't thrifting amazing?? I am becoming a veteran at it and now my daughters are getting into it. It is really neat how many great finds are at GW or other similar stores!

I can see tiny spots where it ran a little because I did a few coats of paint. I am learning :) I also learned to come with your own newspaper because a few of my items broke in the car. Darn :( But I still LOVE thrifting!!

My daughter keeps griping at me that 'nothing's good enough', I ALWAYS have to paint everything...well, I'm a painter anyway, so painting objects just fits right in!!
