One day, I was out 'junkin' and I came across this brown owl. I've never really been a fan of owls....not sure why. However, owls are really popular right now. Kind-of trendy. I even bought a few snow owls for my Christmas tree this past Christmas. Anyway, I decided to take him home and give him a make-over. This is the BEFORE...
This is after I gave him a coat of white paint. I didn't know that I would have to bake him in the oven to 'set' the paint until after I painted him. This is after he came out of the oven. He looks so much better!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT4H3r5rFd9EohuVg4dqD_yoGO5Fr2XGScDyJ1gmCsQHqoMSZng9RYLN_KMs99n7FnLFpyeotZ9_rrljO-F9ID054bQZcWVbS_E9VOYSR1LgiE8a7f0X4zJco1oQJxjwoxxiYzJ7uEjAQ/s400/2012-02-08+12.05.53.jpg)

And AFTER.....What do you think? Now he is 'shabby chic'. A cheap make-over. He cost $3.00 and the paint was $2.00. I posted him on facebook and my daughter claimed him. lol Smile on my daughter's face....priceless.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiqHtcpTTyrX6VUQOoCQWhHQZFGL7B4Qx9qo6XLey0WIwcQromeuMHNIaejJ-bMs5k2a1qPXlL15dw0l2fJzJs7bRMGf7g4aW4Om4ppJwO9bfqQIPPIxw32P3E_Kic42L1ZMYdyJ0QwKM/s400/2012-02-08+18.15.50.jpg)
This is my project for March. My new king-size headboard. I am so excited to get this one done. I started it a few days ago. It's gonna be so pretty!
