swirly vase gets a makeover...

so you may remember this vase from this post here.
we had a good thriftin' day.
anyways, i got this vase for $1.50!!
i seen so much potential in it, had to have it, got it.

so i took it outta my stash and got to work...
i got project happy and didn't take a before picture. =(
i know. i know.

imagine this ugly pinkish orangish color on this beautiful swirly vase.
{pretend it's not in black and white, k?}

anyways, so i broke out my...
{who doesn't loooove heirloom white is craaazy!!}

and then i worked it's magic.
i am always thrilled by the way it turns out...
well besides this project here.
but THAT is a different day a different story.

ANYWHO, this is how my vase turned out...
{can you see all the swirly goodness?}

{i didn't have any flowers to put in it, sean if you're reading... hint hint hint!}

i am completely and truly happy with this vase.
i will not do one single thing to it besides get it some flowers {sean...!!!}
and find it a "home."

hope everyone had a happy hump day!!!

  1. Yummy! Looks like an expensive Ballard or East Main vase now! I am going to try to do hot glue swirls and tissue paper on a plain vase. I posted about doing it with a fleur de lis design and i liked it but swirls are a little more work, I think!
