Fugly Pitcher Makeover

On a recent trip to Value Village with my mom, I picked up a really hideous looking pitcher and bowl set.

The picture doesn't even do justice to how putrid the colour scheme is.

My family thought I was insane.

But a a few coats of Heirloom White Spray paint, and a sunny Sunday afternoon later.....we have THIS!


My Mom was amazed...."How did you think of doing that?" she wondered.  I said, "There are millions of creative people out there who put their ideas on the internet for Clueless Crafters like me!"

Linking to these great inspirational parties!

    I love this! My mom just gave me a wonderful gift set that came in a ceramic container instead of a basket. I love the shape but the design painted on it is horrific. I already thought of painting over it...seeing how well your project turned out, I am quite encouraged!
