Welcome Paint Lovers…
I’ve been doing so much painting over the last few days… don’t you just LOVE how quickly you can totally change the look of an item with just simple, cheap paint!
A few weeks ago I showed you this 1/2 urn I scored at a garage sale for $1. I figured I was going to put her in the master bath near the tub.
I took the Valspar Baby Blue spray paint that I purchased at the ReStore a few weeks back and gave it 2 coats.
Then I took white acrylic craft paint and mixed it equal parts with water and brushed the mixture all over the whole urn. I let it sit on the urn for a few minutes and then wiped it off gently with a paper towel.
The white paint stuck in all the little nooks & crannies… yes, I want a Thomas’ English Muffin now!
Now I need to figure out what to put in my urn… some rolled wash clothes?
Or maybe some of my fav after bath items?
So what have you been painting?

A very subtle, but perfect color! Looks great against the wall color!
Wow what a fabulous urn…love it! It's perfect for the bath…I really like the towels in it! {and only $1 – score} Thanks so much for hosting. Hope you are enjoying your week!
I love that half urn. Unusual and yet so practical. Love the color.
i love the soft color you gave it…. looks fantastic!
I was wondering what you were going to do with that half urn. What a great idea. I think it looks great with the washcloths in it. Thanks for hosting again.
That urn turned out great! I think I like it with the washcloths.
Hi Maryann! Your project turned out great, I like the towels in the urn. I'm trying to link up, but I can't see the button after I enter all my info. Here is my link:

Love what you did with the urn, I like the purpose it serves!

Maryann, what a clever use for this urn. Plus – it looks great, even if you put nothing in it! Nice project!
This looks like a fun party today! Thanks for hosting!

Rats, I used to have an urn vase like that. Why did I get rid of it? Oh right, that was before my repurposing days. Love the fun ideas of how to use it.
