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.
Can not wait to see! That bedroom will be gaw-geous!
Wow! Paint~a~thon! I love it! Come see our Haunted HOuse….Meme
The room is going to be beautiful.
I just finished painting a few things for our room, at the lake. Changes the whole feel of the room.
We’re off on our getaway this afternoon. Having real Fall weather, for our trip. Love it.
Have a great week, at the beach.
I’m so excited. Paint, beautiful pieces, Love the mirrors, secrets, surprises, giveaways, and a trip to the beach. Have fun and I’ll see you on Monday.
They look great! I can’t wait to see them in there!
Can’t wait, can’t wait! 🙂
Bella, another aqua gal 😉
Love the way paint can change anything! Looking forward to seeing the finished results. Have a great weekend.
Great rehabs! I love the little table!
I should get two entries, since I am checking in on a bootleg wireless from Palm Desert.
Have a wonderful time at the beach!
Can’t wait to see the final results with the room. Love these before and after posts.
Have fun at the beach and be safe!

Beautiful transformations. I really like the little blue table. That would a sweet spot for a table telephone in a little niche..
Paint is such a great way to recycle furniture and treasures such as yours!
Love to see your ideas. I’m painting today, too. A couple of urns that were that verdi gris finish will be turned into black with gold antique finish. I’ll post some before and afters.

What a great idea! I have 3 qts of paint from my paint splotching search for wall colors, and this has inspired me to look at some of the old stuff I have stored. Thanks for the inspiration! :0}
Love the little blue table, but how will it do outside? Did you use outdoor paint or marine varnish?
Diane
Your Blue Ocean Breeze is awesome! Have a great time at the beach and we’ll see your inspirations when you return.
I am in the middle of painting (and redoing) my laundry room, thanks to you! Grasscloth green.
What an inspiration you have been.
The painting is turning out wonderful. Now we want you to come back from the beach. You have left us wondering, what is she going to do next and where are they going and which is plastic. Hurry back
Thanks so much for visiting my blog.
Your blog is gorgeous and I love this project!
Maria
I really like what you did with the blue table. That color is so soothing and gives a cozy touch.

Paint is a beautiful thing.
Are you back from the beach, Yet? I can’t wait.
