Pssst….

I am joining in with Rhoda at Southern Hospitality. And also with Susan at Between Naps On a Porch.


Pssst...that’s the sound of spray paint. I bought these roosters on Saturday at a yard sale, for just $3 for all of them. I bought a can of spray paint, psssst…DSC08087



And voila! a very elegant pair of roosters. DSC08090

I put them on top of the china cabinet in the dining room and they look perfect there. They certainly don’t look like a pair of $3 roosters any more.

Too bad it isn’t that easy to transform ourselves!



In case you're wondering what happened to the smallest rooster, it didn't want to be a white rooster :)



It is a very dull day here today, the kind of day you need all the lights on in the house, a very lazy day. Hope you are enjoying your Saturday.

  4. Rhondi, I agree they are so elegant now. Good find! I certainly do like getting little peeks at your lovely home. All the blue and white touches...your home is charming. I rarely think about painting things, but I'm learning from all you clever women out there. Thanks for sharing this idea. Hope you are having a great weekend. I posted my typical Pink Saturday post on my blog, but I also left one on the QCI blog. It spotlights some unusual Quimper pottery from the 30s. You might enjoy seeing it. ~ Sarah

  7. Oh, you've just inspired me to look at things a bit differently now. Why didn't I think of spray paint more often? I love the way your roosters turned out. Have to scoot - I'm off to spray paint something right now!

  15. Your white roosters are very elegant! I love the the smallest one didn't want to be white.

    We have had more rain here today. It is suppose to clear up again tomorrow or the next day. I spent the day painting a second coat of paint on my studio walls.
