Updating your home decor.
Sometimes, it can be your lucky day when you are a hoarder.
WHAT…………..
you don’t hoard your decor?
Well, I do,
and I say I have no closet space.
mmm hmmm…I do have plenty, I just don’t like to get rid of much.
Today, was my lucky day.
I found a roo in the closet that I have had for years.
He is just a cheopo plastic resin one that I believe I picked up at a thrift store some time ago.
Certainly nothing wrong with this good looking fellow.
He just needed a little sprucing up.
My kinda color right here.
Bright, cheery and just perfect for Spring and Summer.
After I painted him and let him dry for an hour or two. He then got a
coat of dark wax, and lightly distressed look.
He feels refreshed and ready!
In a happy little corner of our Country Kitchen.
Thank for stopping by today.

That is such a great shade of green, Debbie … perfect for your too! I’m sure he’s enjoying his new look in the corner of your “Country Kitchen!” (Great vignette, too, with the tulips.)

Debbie
It’s amazing the difference a coat of paint can make! Now, he looks very hip.
I hoard stuff too. I have a closet for just such a purpose, and it’s getting kind of overgrown these days. I need to pull something out for craft therapy.

Love the rooster! And the color is lovely! But, I beg your pardon but we are NOT hoarders! We are recyclers, up-cycles, restorers, saving the world from trash, treasure finders, historians, preservers of vintage ….I can go on, but I’ll stop……LOL
Lynn
Gosh he is just too adorable. I love him & the color is perfect.

Great color, Debbie! And a nice way to update our existing home decor. I’ve been thinking about checking out that paint that Shannon carries. I’ll have to contact her and see if there are sample sizes available to purchase.

She sure does Janet! Hop on over.
Jackie
What kind of wax?
debbiedoo's
I used Annie Sloan wax but there are other brands such as minwax sold at Home dept and Lowes.
Cynthia
Wow this was perfect posting timing. I have a rooster & 2 hens that I didn’t know if I was gong to keep. Repainted the kitchen & they just fade into the wall color now, but I really like them. Now I will just paint & wax them. Thanks again
debbiedoo's
Great, you will love their new updated look!

I never would have thought of a green Roo, but I love how he turned out!
I could see him in many vignettes.
Lorna
Your roaster is adorable – what a fabulous idea to give him a whole new look – I must say I prefer him green.
