Vase Makeover

vase makeover spray muslim blog
Today's post I am sharing with you is an old vase that has been in the family for many years, I think it is even older than me! My grandmother gave it to me as she no longer had any need for it.  It is a good sturdy vase but the design was very dated!  So I decided to have a go with the spray paint.

The photo below is what the vase originally looked like.


I used a can of spray paint that I had in the house. I originally bought this to give my daughter's bike a makeover but decided against it once she had outgrown it!


I took the vase outside and placed it onto some old newspaper and sprayed away. It took about 3 coats and I had to leave a 4 hour gap between respraying. I managed to have it completed by the evening!

Below is a nice before and after photo collage. I now have this vase in my living room.  I managed to buy some really cheap imitation flowers to put in the vase which made it blend in nicely with the room.
