For those of you who may be living under a rock, you might have missed how popular owls have become lately, in both party themes and home decor. Super cute and fun, and I have been loving all of the different styles and looks that are out there. Ideas abound.
Nice modern owls like these…
Super cute party cookies…
I want to bring one of these into the office and drink coffee out of it at a staff meeting…
So, how could I resist this little fellow I found (for $3) at Goodwill?
A few coats of glossy white spray paint, and he’s looking sharp, don’t you think?
And if you don’t like his new look, I don’t think he gives a hoot. 😉

July 27, 2011 at 3:16 pmMy friend just sent me this link to your blog. I am so glad she did, because I have that same exact owl that you spray painted glossy white!! 🙂 I bought mine a few months ago at Goodwill for $2.99 and primed it, then spray painted it Heirloom White. I love my owl and while I love the other cute modern owls decorations, I love the stature of this one. So funny that you would find the same one. They truly are beautiful now that they have been given a make-over.

July 29, 2011 at 3:15 pmIT LOOKS AWESOME!!! I'm actually half way though spray painting two squirrels glossy white (I've done 3 coats but am still struggling to get into all the nooks and crannys — those dark squirrels have so much detail in their big tails! ha!). I'm posting about it later today! Totally the same thing. Yours looks totally perfect 🙂 Good job! How many coats?
