We love giving out dated items an inexpensive makeover and it's so simple! All you need is your favourite colour spray paint and a nice dry day. Which does come along every now and then (just don't blink or you'll miss it).
We have this lovely owl ornament that was found in the attic. Nobody has any idea where it came from so we claimed it for ourselves! Top tip: Have a good look in charity shops and at boot sales for a great item to spray!
We have gone for white spray paint to give it a modern look as white decor is very on trend at the moment.
Try not to go crazy with your spray paint, just do a thin coat at a time and let it dry. Remember - less is more and you can add more layers as you go along! Patience is the key to avoid smudges and finger prints!
As we said before, it is quite difficult to get a warm day in this country but it will work much better if you can wait for the sun to come out. Cold weather can cause the paint to dry a bit dull and we don't want that! We want a fresh and modern look!
You can spray just about any old item any colour you want!
Important note: Make sure you're not spraying an antique worth a lot of cash. Cause that would be very silly!
Try spraying glass bottles and using them as vases, very shabby chic!
You could also create colourful book ends with old plastic toys. Superglue them to a block of wood and spray them up! They look great in kids room and you can use dinosaurs for boys or horses for girls! You could also get two matching ornaments for a more grown up modern look! Genius!
