I was helping my mom pack up her house one day and she had this pitcher tucked away in the back of her china cabinet never being used. Normally I wouldn't have cared for it at all, it's not quite my style, but it dawned on me that it would be great for a little DIY project I'd seen all over the internet.
I dug her out of the closet this past Sunday and set up shop in the garage. It took quite a few coats, those flowers did not want to go away. And then I quickly realized that the flowers were not going to fully go away. They're indented into the pitcher a little bit so now I have a white pitcher with outlines of what I know to be flowers, but to others it probably looks like I did a massively horrible job of painting it.
I did a few more coats than need be, just to try and fill it in a little bit. Unless you're up close to it you can't tell much, and really it's just my husband and I here mostly and we don't care. I'm still happy with how it turned out.
I knew I wanted it to be on a piece of wood somewhere because I really love the look of a rich wood and white together. Our coffee table is about the same color as our table is, but the flowers sat up just a little to high to look right, so on the table it goes.
The pitcher was free and I probably could've dug out my spray paint somewhere but I have no clue where it is so I just spent the $3.50 and got a new can. And of course I had to buy flowers for it. I couldn't have it sit there all by it's empty self.
