DIY

June 22nd, 2009

A couple of lovely house guests gave me this pair of horse head bookends as a thank you for the awesome hospitality at the Brick House. The ceramic glaze was a bit sloppy (and not so aesthetically pleasing) but I liked the shape and I LOVE bookends.

I was a bit antsy and dissatisfied after a day of gravel and cement paver scouting. I was itching for an easy project….and there was leftover spray paint.

Oops.

They ran into my delicious glossy black spray.

I swear.

Ahhhhhhhh. Fabulous.
