cats and dogs

If you watch my last video chat on Facebook you saw me talk about upcyling and painting ceramics! I wanted to share with you the before and after pictures of the dogs/shoes that I featured in the video. 

Before

Big difference right! As I mentioned in the video, I picked up this pair of filthy dogs on boots. I am guessing they were toothpick holds since they seemed to be covered in kitchen grease because once I washed them in dawn the dogs were actually all white! I painted with a metallic black, added a match strike sticker and paired it up with a candle. There is still one left in my local FB marketplace shop for any locals!

I just love the monocolor look to the spray painted pieces. Ironically I walked by this fella in the store the other day- on trend my friends!

So if you also watched the video you saw me share my newly acquired vintage ceramic cat that I am going to turn into my shop mascot! Yes I am going to paint her black except for her eyes. I did practice on that new piece I found in Michaels and she has already sold!

After

This time I used a flat black, so much fun! I just did a soft white lamb plant holder that I will be listing soon. 

I am excited to do my cat mascot and she officially has a name! I will share more once she is all done! Till then what out for those kitschy cermics and give them a coat of paint! 

I thrifty love- till next time my friends!
