Morning!
Once that paint brush get’s in my hand there is no telling what will get a new doo next…
perhaps a new roo is what I meant.
This guy here I have had for years.
In fact, he use to be outside in our South Florida home.
He held up well, but his coloring was outdated in my opinion and I thought,
what the hay, he needs a little paint.
You remember my last roo update?
she was a bewt..
I love this roo so much I decided my other old one needs an update as well.
sooooooooo…
so why stop there I asked myself?
I was working on another project at the time..stay tuned more to come on that
and I was
using Bayou blue
After I painted all but the tail and feet
I gave it a good coat of dark wax.
Lightly sanded so his original coloring would peek through here and there.
And there he is all gussied up, fresh and updated.
So fun to take a little paint and transform just about anything!
Thanks for stopping by today.
Hey not sure if you follow me along on Facebook, but I sure would love to see you over there!

Debbie, I used your inspired idea and spray painted my multi-colored roo into a lovely white glossy roo-a-doo. Thanks for the great ideas!
debbiedoo's
Awesome Susan! Amazing right how it can update your decor to new again!
Laurie
Debbie, I noticed the tiny wax brush sitting next to your amazingly good looking Too, do you use that size on furniture? So many sites are sold out or so expensive I read that a pastry brush works well also, ??
debbiedoo's
I use that brush for small projects. I actually use a rag on furniture when I wax, it works wonders for me, but may not be the recommended for the experts out there. An old White T-shirt is exactly what I use:)
Cynthia
What great idea and it turned out fabulous! Love it, you have my brain working for when we move.

Linda @ Itsy Bits And Pieces
The paint really does update the piece! I have a wooden angel I’m thinking of doing this to, too!
Debbie
Keep this up, sister, and we’ll be changing the name of this blog to Debbie Roos. I love this one as much as the first one. I did giggle when you said you were in the middle of another project when you stopped to do this. That, my friend, is why I can’t get anything accomplished these days.
Shari @ Turnstyle Vogue
So fresh and regal looking. Very statuesque.
