Like this adorable dog planter. He's lived at our house for years and no one ever notices him. Doesn't matter whether he's inside or out--he's basically invisible.
I decided it was time for a drastic change. Spray paint to the rescue.
No more Mr. Invisible.
He shows up anywhere I put him.
As long as I had the paint out...
A few coats of Ivory craft acrylic instead of spray paint (just in case I decide to revert to rust, all I'll have to do is scrub them in hot water) while I was watching the Espana take on Portugal in the World Cup and whoo-hoo!
A paint convert,
I don't know why it took me so long to find some other cherry-red loving bloggers but I'm joining the REDnesday party!
Your planter is so cute! I can see black zebra stripes on the pail..... Love yard art!
ReplyDeleteLove your little doggie! How about little love hearts on the pot?
ReplyDeleteOh...my...you are right....they are so much better painted. Especially that little doggie.
ReplyDeleteI should be in bed (especially after 6 hours of grocery shopping today and putting it all away after) but I wanted to catch up on blog reading. Love the red paint and I would do polka dots. So fun. I also love the apricot and orange roses. You have a gift. Check out my blog, you would like my grandparents.
ReplyDeleteWow! That really does pop... and it looks terrific. It is amazing what a little color can do.
ReplyDeleteI have been looking over your recent posts.... your roses are beautiful! I would love to see a photo of how the mini's are incorporated into your yard. And the peonies... no words.
Thanks for your comments on my chicken project... do you have a "roof" over your girls? I am trying to decide what to use to keep the hawks out and would love to hear what you are planning.
Definitely just the right colors to make everything pop! Looks even cuter now.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely look so much better in their new colors.
ReplyDeleteThey look so cute now.
Have a great weekend!
The planter is so cool ! I like the makeover !

I'm so glad you found us and joined in! Wow! What a difference that paint made - he must be so proud to be noticed and admired now!
ReplyDeleteYes, the red and white puppy is a big improvement! I don't think he needs much more pizazz, he looks pretty spiffy now. Spray paint is the bestest stuff for instant magic!
