I'm back at the spray paint and stain again. Seems like I keep finding more things to redo. lol
I've had this tiered basket tray for quite sometime, and a while back I sprayed it white. That just never seemed to go, so it was time for a change.
I was out of ORB, so I grabbed the can of black and gave it a quick coat. Not sure if this is what I wanted or not. I may have to redo it. When it is dry, we will see.
As usual I forgot to take a before picture. This was a teal and white pitcher that I've had for quite a while. It didn't go with anything I had, so I got out my bright yellow spray paint and gave it a coat.
Next I sponged some dark walnut stain on and then wiped it off quickly leaving it in all the lines. It turned out with a checker board look. Kind of fun.
After that dried I gave it a couple coats of Crystal Clear for some shine.
Of course I had to play when it was all dry. It has a really old look to it. Kind of a dirty mustard color.
I never know what something is going to look like, but if I don't like it, I can just paint it again.
I put it in the island vignette for now. Different for a change. I love old pitchers and jars, so I like the look since it looks old.
Fun day just playing. I am going to have my granddaughter here for a few days so I will be visiting and running around with her. I will check in when I can. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

ReplyDeleteGreat transformation! Love the pitcher and all your patterns in your living room. I love color and pattern. Beautiful job! Jean

ReplyDeleteBrenda
It looks so pretty! I would have never have thought to paint the pitcher. What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteHi Marty! I LOVE it!! I love the yellow and the vignette you put together! Beautiful!! Thanks for stopping by and the comment on my spooky mannequin! It is a vintage mannequin that was actually made from a mold that was made from a real person back in the day...eek... a wee bit creepy but kind of neat in a way! So glad I figured out how to fix the link up's for the party this time!! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Marty, Another wonderful vignette! The painted pitcher looks wonderful in your kitchen.

You are such an inspiration! I'm crazy about that pitcher.
ReplyDeleteHi Marty...
ReplyDeleteWow...you always inspire me, Girlfriend! I have an old spotted brown pitcher in storage that I could spray paint! I'm going to give it a try! I love how your pitcher turned out with the antiqued yellow finish! And...it looks sooo pretty mixed in with your island vignette! Can't wait to see what you do with your three tiered wicker stand! Hehe!
Love ya,
Chari

I love what you did with that pitcher. Love the colors. I've put a lot of yellow in my family room lately. I think I'm dreading the winter here in Oregon and already I'm pumping up my summer shine.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time with your granddaughter.
The pitcher vase looks great with the sunflowers. The whole arrangement is attractive.
ReplyDeleteOh Marty, I like the pitcher a lot! Great job.

The black wicker looks brand new -- I love it! The yellow pitcher is fabulous. I'm so glad you explained how you did it. I guess the stain is what made it so shiny. It looks striking. Well done!
ReplyDeleteHow very pretty, you crafty gal!

The pitcher is the perfect color for the fall flowers. Everything looks great. And I like the wicker stand black.
ReplyDeleteHi Marty! You are so great about showing easy ways to freshen things up and give them a brand new look! That pitcher looks like something you would find in a little shop in Italy! Thanks for linking this up to my party this week!
ReplyDeleteVanessa
Isn't it nice when a small tweak that doesn't take much time can give you such a great result?
ReplyDeleteIs Earl visiting from Happier than a pig in Mud? It sure looks like him in the last picture.
ReplyDeleteI love the way the pitcher turned out. La

The pitcher along with your other decorations look great!!!! What kind of spray paint did you use? Was it regular or some type of made-for-glass/ceramic? I might like to try this project!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Everything you do is so pretty. I love coming to your blog. The pitcher painted the mustard yellow and stained is gorgeous. I think I will try that on one that I have. Thanks for sharing your creative decor. You are the greatest. Karie @
