Spray Painting Ceramics
It works better than you'd think....
Sometimes you find a cool piece but the colors
just aren't working for you...
I loved this little ceramic piece...
match holder? tea bags?
(Personally, I think the big box of stick matches fits right in here)
I gave it a coat of high gloss white spray paint...
Now it "matches" my kitchen!

Would never have thought to do that! Now I can't wait to hit the thrift store...
ReplyDeleteMakes so many possibilities......
DeleteLooks great now! I have so many pieces that could use a makeover like this!

Wow, I never would have thought you could do that, Susan! I'll be looking at some ceramic pieces I've passed up at Goodwill differently now.
ReplyDeleteCute find and I love to paint ceramics. Great job. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteWow, think of the possibilities!
ReplyDeletedoes it rub/scrape/wash off? meaning just how durable is the paint over?
ReplyDeleteHi Eolist Petite.... It doesn't rub or scrape off. It seems to be on really well. I have some pieces I did last year and they are still fine. I would not put it in the dishwasher and only hand wash.

It looks amazing....I would want to add a french decal from the Graphic's Fairy....marvelous idea you have there....off to the cupboard to find a hidden jewel. Merci!
ReplyDeleteAh-haaa!! I never would have thought to paint ceramic pieces...smart thinking!! Perfect for your teabags!! I have some galvanized metal match holders I've been trying to think of a purpose for...now I know!! Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteThat did work pretty good, and nope - I would not have thought to do that. I'm starting to get scared at how much stuff I'm going to be packing in my car when garage sale season starts!

I definitely will try this! Thanks.

Woo, I love it!! I have such a hard time seeing the "potential" in items like that. I love seeing good inspiration pieces like this.
ReplyDeleteThat is a cute piece! I would have probably passed it by because of the design. Nice to know ceramic can be spray painted. Have a great week!
ReplyDeletehugs,
Deborah
LOVE the updated look Susan! glossy white was the perfect choice.

It looks like a different piece. Thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteI literally just put aside a painted pitcher that I was going to give to Goodwill but thought maybe I could paint it. Now I know I will! Kathleen
