So I have a crazy Aunt who is always giving me stuff. She loves garage sales and thrift stores like I do, but her tastes are a lot different than my own. I love her spirit, but some of her gifts go straight to the garage sale pile. It gives her joy to give, so I let her give. So at Christmas she gave me this dog.
It's orange eyes just really bothered me. So the weather was beautiful this weekend, so I decided to try and do something about those eyes. It's amazing way a little spray paint will do. I used gray primer first, and then just a light coat of white to brighten him up. Now I think he is more presentable...

He looks much more welcoming now, I'm with you those eyes were a little spooky! Kathy
Much better! He looks good with potted plants!
Wow--that's amazing, really. It goes from something that is somewhat creepy, to something that is cute and looks much more classy. Good thinking!
Sooooo much cuter! Paint is marvelous isn't it!

You know, he really is kind of cute now that you've painted him!
Well heck...that is a brilliant idea! It went from being "tacky" (sorry auntie) to being really cute!
