That ~2~ This

I was a busy little bee today.  I am trying to wrap up some unfinished projects I also, started a few!  Will I ever learn?

I have 2 of these swans, told you I love them & collect them too!  I like the glass look but as I looked around our home I noticed I have tons of glass so I decided to give these swans a makeover~ Can you guess what I did?  No, okay, I will show you.  But first, the before~

Like I said, I have 2 of these swans one I bought with flowers that yikes, I paid $9.99 for, I really loved the swan so I needed to get it.  The other I found at my very favorite thrift store for $.75


Yep~I leafed them, copper this time!  What do you think?  I am really please with the out turn.  For these I gave them a more of a scratchy finish rather than  smooth and you can see the movement & texture in the picture. I love swans so much I feel like they possess grace & elegance, just like my beautiful mother~

                     But wait, there's more, swans that is~

Excuse the quality and the mess in the background, like I said busy, busy day!

I just gave this swan a quick makeover, with a little ice blue metallic paint & LOVE~

                                       ~PLAQUES~
These were originally black & taupe and I painted them in primary colors for our den, I liked them but I changed the theme in the den & I wanted to put these in our master bath. I bought these on clearance at Hobby Lobby for $1.20 each.

At times it is difficult for me to remember to take before pictures, evident here~

Look how pretty they are now~  I love different tones of gold & silver too!

Thank You & Many Blessings~
