Wise Old Owls Get a Facelift

 

I have been seeing these white porcelain birds in every Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware, and modern decorating websites, and have wanted my own! It seemed relatively easy to make, the hardest part would be finding the right owls! So I set off for Goodwill the other day with the hope that I would find the right birds to nest in my home:) I was so lucky! These were the first two I saw and I got both of them for $6!

Next I got some spray paint - I chose the off white gloss, so that the shine would be there to give it some porcelain appeal. (I was debating between the white and gold for awhile - but thought the white would be better for year round)  

 

 It took about four coats of the spray paint - maybe it would've been less if I had primed the owls beforehand, but I love the way they turned out, and now they are proudly watching out from their new perch on the living room table.
