painted bottles

It was so much fun painting these bottles!!!  I have been collecting all different types of bottles from thrift stores for a long time.  This can make a regular glass vase take on a whole new look.  Watching the paint swirl around and coat
the inside of the bottle was pretty instant gratification.  Next step on this
project , once it dries completely,  is to try putting a sealer on top of paint.  I want to be able to put water in these for flowers.  

little footstool with new top

This little stool was falling apart and headed to the trash.   I grabbed it and cut all of the remaining stuff off the top.  I had seen a DYI on doing this
anthropologie inspired look.  It took longer than I thought it would. (My dog went nuts with me using a electric staple gun.  It is loud.) 
Love  how it turned out.  It will
be one of those pieces that I may put in sale but fine if it does not sale.
