A Transformation from Ugly to Fabulous



I bought these bowls at our local second hand store. They were priced at $1.75 each but the store was having a 50% off sale. I bought the five they had and spent a total of $4.38.



They were in rough shape. The bottoms were covered in a layer of grease. ( eeeww ) I sat outside with some sandpaper and gave them a good sanding.




After washing and drying it was paint time.
My favorite!



Solid primary colors work best for me



A liner brush and some loteria game boards added some festive elements to the bowls.



A couple coats of varnish and they are done.
Aren't they cute?

  5. I'm having so much fun looking through your blog. This project is currently my favorite (but I've only just started looking around here, so I may find even more favorites!).

    I found your blog via Happy Hour Projects Welcome Wednesday.
