turquoise birds.

i'm on a spraypainting binge. it's getting a bit ridiculous.

but seriously... spraypaint to me is like magic-in-a-can. sprayable magic, actually. which makes it even better.

we are in the process of going through some of my grandparents things since they just moved into a retirement home and downsized a whole lot. nick, bel and i are getting ready to move into their house, which is really exciting. it just makes my nostalgia-loving-heart really happy at the thought of living in a home that i have twenty five years worth of memories in.

the other night my mom, sis and i were going through some odds and ends and we stumbled across these porcelain birds. i remember these birds decorating my grandparents home when i was a little girl, which makes it even more special for me to have.

enter: spraypaint.

i fought the urge to just paint them white, since i tend to want that classic look... and instead, grabbed a paint of turquoise (my latest color obsession) spraypaint and went.to.town.

love these sweet little birds. and they will be perfect to add a pop of color & happiness to a spot in our new house.

have you spraypainted anything lately? frames, lamp bases, ceramic/porcelain figures, vases, plates... the possibilities are endless. one of the cheapest transformations you will ever do!
