Thrift Store Vase Revamp

I have been wanting something on my dining room table for months. I think it has been bare since Easter. I went scavenging in the garage and found a vase my Mom had given me a while back. She picked it up at a thrift store. I transformed it this morning and now my dining table is finally dressed for summer.
This was the vase before the make-over...
I spray painted it cream... Then I used an antiquing medium and rubbed it on the vase with a soft cloth to give it an aged look. It took me less than an hour to do and I am so happy with the results...and don't the hydrangeas look real? I bought them at Michael's a couple of weeks ago 70% off!

  3. Molly, that is awesome! Don't you just love it when projects come together so inexpensively and yet it looks like it came out of a catalog? You did a great job! I'm gonna rush to M's right now and see if I can get some hydrangeas that cheap! I also loved your recipe book! Clever girl...I finished my birdcage book, come take a peak! Have a wonderful weekend!
    Live Creatively! Patti
