I said this before and I will say it again,you can transform just about anything with a little paint.
Don’t pass up a piece because of how it looks,stand back and think about how you can improve it with just a little paint.
I found a pair of very ugly cherub statue planters.
I love the sweet cherubs the shells and the design,but the added copper gold paint finish had to go.
Yes this has many chips also,but I don’t care,I love pieces that are imperfect.
I took these home and cleaned them up a bit and started to paint.
Using what I had already at home I used my homemade plaster paint in a pure white color.
See how simple is this!
Just a coat of paint,I could antique this but sometimes I love the simplicity too.
Not everything needs to be antiqued.
Yes I have a pair.
I am planning on adding these to our porch, as soon as the weather is nicer I can get out and decorate.
I am not sure how I will use these out on the porch or where they will go.
I may even add a plant inside,possibly something similar to this.
Something trailing down the side would look pretty.
I know this does not look quite right as the basket planter is a little too tall.
Next time you are out shopping if you find a piece that just needs a color change think about painting it,even if it is fabric.
As long as it is in good condition yes you can paint fabric.
Did you see the painted fabric chair I did?

Thank you Laurie!
Beautiful! I remember finding a cherub statue once. But the cherub was riding a dolphin and I didn’t think there was any way I could get over laughing at it. Even with paint.
Ha!That would be difficult Julie!
Anne,
The power of paint is soooo awesome…they look great!
Blessings,
Linda

These are gorgeous, Anne! Using them on a porch is a great idea, too!
Thank you Lynn!
These are stunning Anne. The white really brings out the beauty and details of the pieces. You are a true artist. I can’t imagine anything more beautiful on your porch. I hope you can stop by for a visit.
