Quick DIY : Metallic Owl

Anissa — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 20:56:20 +0000

This ceramic owl has been sitting around our apartment for a few years now. I rescued it from a thrift store and never got around to fixing it up. It had little cracks and an overall dingy appearance no matter how many times I tried cleaning it up.

I saw an article in Lonny Magazine the other day showing how to use metallic gold paint to perk up inexpensive decorations. Cute! I decided to go with silver and bought a can of $3 Krylon metallic spray paint. Simple enough and there is plenty of paint left for other projects. I think it will be great for the holidays and now Mr. Owl is being proudly displayed on our bookshelf.

Interiors : Danielle Thompson

This week’s edition of interiors features the home of Danielle Thompson. She is a blogger and owner of Kitschy Digitals and Tiny Bazaar. Her newly decorated living room is highly inspired by the 60′s and 70′s. I love the way the room is put together. Especially the wall color, owls, birds and cameras. Enjoy!

“I love mixing new items with vintage. I love the hodge-podgyness. I love that nothing is matchy-matchy. I often don’t put alot of forethought into how I’m going to decorate. I just throw it all in and see if it works. Sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes it does.” – Danielle Thompson
