How much fun can you have in one day with some spray paint? Loads! I got a can of Heirloom White and transformed these yard sale and bargain bin treasures into beauties! If there is a moral to this story - it is that anything can be saved with a little spray paint.
First - I found this cute wire bird that was bright red at Hobby Lobby. So much better in Heirloom White. And I was a very bad blogger and did not take a before! But I think we can all agree that this looks lovely! (P.S. That is my fab wire basket I found this weekend behind it - I LOVE it!)
Next up - a couple of $1 frames that went from blah wood to shabby chic beauties! The bird print I got a couple of weekends ago out and about and the other was hand drawn by my cousin. My mom gave it to me for my birthday!

Finally - my 50 cent pitcher that I picked up this weekend looks so much better with a good coat of Heirloom White. Now it looks like an heirloom treasure! Love it!
Umm - let's do a little before and after shall we? Can you say gorgeous?
So those were my fun projects this weekend! What did you get into? Done any spray painting recently? Lemme know!

Stopping by from SITS and glad I did. Count me as your newest follower!
I love the white spray paint. I am a huge fan of black spray paint but have been thinking lately that maybe I need to lighten up!
Beautiful work!!!
Spray paint is the best isn't it? I especially love the pitcher. It would look pretty with flowers in it too.
I had to laugh when you called yourself a bad blogger for not taking a before pic. Isn't it funny how your blog is always in the back of your mind? I took my camera to a party the other day mainly because I love the architecture of the house and meant to get some pictures-I forgot!
Beautiful!! It all looks great. You aren't kidding about the spray paint! Goodness knows how many things can be brought to life with just a little bit of paint! :o)
Have a wonderful day!
Sincerely ~ Trish
I love your 50 cent pitcher....gorgeous! My friends all laugh at me when we go thrifting because my motto is always "Paint it white!" It's amazing the difference some cheap-o white spray paint makes. Great job.
Love love love it!! I tend to lean toward black, but I am trying to make myself do some more white transformations, lol. I recently painted something in white..I'll be posting that soon! I love the pitcher - looks amazing.
And oh ya - I gave you an award!! Go check out my blog!! :)

I love spray paint! It's so fun. You're Treasures look great!
I love your bird, and still love the basket!!!!!
Hi I have just discovered your blog and think I need to go and buy myself some spray paint. I really love the bird and basket...just divine. I think I am your newest follower. Take care Kym
What would we do without spray paint? You totally transformed those items!
I just adore the pitcher. Wonderful job.
If I knew they would turn out that pretty, I would by those ugly pieces at the thrift store!! I am always afraid that they will still look ugly!! I did paint my outdoor lantern that was rusting a bright yellow. Plan on posting it tomorrow!
White paint makes everything better! I love the bird you found!
WOW!!! Jess, these are great. I particularly love the wired bird. You're a great spray-painter. I need more practice. I think I hate to "waste" the paint, so consequently I overspray! You did great!
I'm visiting you from the Power of Paint Party over at Domestically Speaking...don't ya just love yourself a can of spray paint? I've brought home some things from the goodwill or yard sales before and my hubby has snarled his nose up at them...after I get finished he starts to change his tune...there is power in a can of spray paint! LOL...love the birdie and the white pitcher! Amazing transformation! Come visit me at my blog over at http://foresthillsroad.blogspot.com/
Heirloom White makes everything just creamy lovely!
I saw those red birds at Hobby Lobby on clearance, thought it would look better once a can of spray paint got to it. However I decided against it (I thought the eyes would turn out creepy), that is until I saw your's! So tonight I went to see if they still had one, and they had one left at 80% off! So I grabbed it and primed it, it is now waiting to get a nice coat of silver spray paint! I am so happy I ran across your blog! :) Thanks!
Love it and I would love if you would link this project up over at my blog http://www.thetshirtdiaries.com‘s Upcycled Awesome linky party – http://tinyurl.com/Upcycled5
