Have you ever bought something for the home décor online,
thinking it would be fabulous?
And when it arrives in the post is NOTHING like the image you bought it from???
Well, this is what happened with this darling...
French styled - tick ✔
Birds - tick ✔
but...
colour - yuk - tick ✔
almost tacky - tick ✔
Does not fit anywhere in the house - tick ✔
Disastrous purchase - tick ✔
Try and fix said disastrous purchase...
paint the leafy green bird grey to tone the super bright colours down.
But for me, it just wasn't right.
Into the cupboard it went, and it stayed - until it was painted white.
But I still didn't like it, so back into the cupboard it went!
I have seen on Pinterest how people are spray painting anything and everything white!
Kids plastic toys, ornaments, books, vases, book ends - EVERYTHING!!!
And as I am having a 'quite fond of gold' moment...
and the red sitting room has now developed accents of gold,

(LOVE this paint as it has SUPERB coverage!)
Two items relegated to cupboard life
