A little bit of spray paint

The first two items I got at the Dollar store for - no not a dollar
The Santa was .25 it was pretty scuffed up but with a little Heirloom Spray paint:


The trees were .50 a piece


 got this shelf in the big Goodwill Outlet Extravaganza last weekend  for .40
 its rather small so I'm not sure what it was used for maybe a teacup
I plan to use it to display knick knacks in my booth


It always amazes me what a little bit of spray paint can do

    I love the Santa plate and even think it would look cool distressed with some of the original coming through. Great job

    I love the trees! Adorable and they look so much more chic in white! I'm so jealous you have a Goodwill - we only have Value World around here! Great job!

    No kidding - spray paint made all the difference! I'm always afraid to paint things because I feel like I may not like it - but yet I haven't seen a transformation that I didn't like better than the original LOL I must be brave!
