I think I'll paint something

Sometimes you have perfectly good accessories that are still pretty, they just don't work with a new scheme or plan. So, what do you do?? Why, you paint them of course. I know most of you know this already, but the power of paint is so alluring. With just a little time and effort, those old accessories get a whole new look, so why throw them out. These are all yardsale mirrors that I've had for a long time...gold was fine.
But, creamy white is better for the new room. Can you guess which one is plastic? I didn't even know it until I started painting it. These aren't all finished yet, I'll do a little antiquing on them before they make their debut.
Scrollies and bunnies...all yardsale finds too. I'm getting a little tired of the scrollie things, but I think they'll work fine in a new color. I do like their classic shapes.

And how pretty they look now in Heirloom White. Spray painting would have been faster, but I already had this can around, so I resorted to the brush. And it really doesn't take long. I wanted to leave a little gold in the crevices anyway. Again, I'll age these a little too.
More finds from long ago, these sconces also got in on the action.
With a fresh coat of satin black, they will be stunning and work together as a pair (a non-matching pair). I have some important plans for them.
This little $5 yardsale side table got a coat of stain earlier this year, but it was time once again for a really big change.
And Blue Ocean Breeze from Walmart did the trick.

Bet you know which room all of this will go in, don't you?!
