Thrift Store Rooster Makeover
Welcome friends to another edition of the monthly Thrift Store Decor Challenge.
I really look forward to seeing what the other girls have up their talented sleeves.
This month mine is rather simple for me. Last month I made of thrift store art.
I was really torn with this one. I love color, but really love the neutral white look that has been so hot.
I picked up these ceramic roosters at Good Will for $2.99 each.
They were really pretty before, but with being so cheap, I thought I'd play. They are a little roughed and banged up, but spray paint would cover most of that.
I had them in the kitchen on a beautiful toile tray.
But we've had nothing but rain and clouds for days on end. This room was so dark and just couldn't get good shots. These were probably the best 2 of the lot.
So on that rainy day, I moved them to the front porch to get more day light. You just couldn't see the detail inside.
They are such a sweet little pair. I painted them with a glossy spray paint by Rustoleum. It took several light coats.
I think they will get lots of use with their new neutral color.
Now let's see what these pretty ladies have for us today!
RUSTOLEUM RECENTLY SENT ME A SMALL CASE OF SPRAY PAINT … ALL IN WHITE. HHMM, THIS MAY BE A WAY TO USE IT! LIKE EM’. Found you with BLISS.
I adore color as well, but sometimes a pop of white is where it’s at. I love the crisp white look you achieved!!!
I absolutely LOVE your cute little roos! Of course I do:) I love this monthly gig, it makes me go thrifting more like I used to.
So pretty all creamy white Christy!
Christy, you show me that sometimes the most brilliant makeover is super simple. These chickens look classic.
I like them better white. Good job! You’re right, the neutral color will work anywhere!
What a great idea! I think for me it might be a glossy deep red, though….
Love, love, love it. May look good in black too!!!
What a fantastic idea! I see things at Good Will all of the time and am not happy with the color but I never considered just spray painting them white. You’ve given me a whole new outlook!
I love these, Christy. Easy and so cute!
What a difference Christy! You took them from eew so dated to current and expensive looking.
Your roosters look fabulous…what a difference a little paint makes. And yea for Whole30! 😉
You know now there will be a run on old chickens at all the thrift stores. Everyone is going to want to give the birds a makeover so they look cool like yours.
Looks really awesome. Love how you turn old things into a brand new one that fits perfectly at home. Thanks for this idea or inspiration!
Christy they are beautiful! I love how spray paint just gave them new life! You have inspired me to look beyond the surface of thrift items.!
