Whimsical Wednesday:: Spray paint makeover

Hey everyone! I wanted to share another recent makeover I did with some spray paint. I've taken quite a liking to this stuff & conquered my fear of screwing something up with spray paint. I had this little terracotta pot for about a year now, my mom gave it to me, I'm pretty sure she found it at a yard sale. It looks like it was once used for plants since the inside looked like it was filled with dirt once. I thought the shape was too pretty to use as a planter though but I decided to try it anyway...

This poor thing was just begging to be made over....

I gave it a good cleaning with a wet rag & let it dry completely before spraying it.

I had in my stash this Krylon paint in a lovely medium olive shade & it worked like magic.

 I was a little worried as to how the paint would adhere to terracotta but I think it turned out great!

I only sprayed enough for the paint to cover around the top rim of the pot but not down where the dirt would be inside. I filled it with some Boston ivy clippings I had rooting in some water & voila!

Instant face lift! I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I put it up on the mantle next to a pretty blue plate I had but it seemed like it needed a wee bit more height somewhere.

I didn't want to move my pillar candle stands for fear that it would be too much green on one side & the mini nativity set I keep out all year long kept getting the ivy leaves all over it.

 I tried a few different vases & such & nothing seemed to work so I grabbed this jute covered skinny vase I had with some fake flowers in it & called it a day. Not perfect but it'll do for now...

That's better...

What spray paint makeovers have you worked on lately?
