If you’ve been to Z Gallerie you’ve probably noticed their modern assortment of white lacquered and white ceramic animal accesories. I don’t know why in the world anyone would want a white horse but I sure do.

Hey there! I’m Michelle; I’m an Passionate DIY’er and in constant pursuit of how to bring beauty to my house full of men (3 boys + 1 hubby). Stick around and see what I’ve got up my hard-working sleaves!
It’s so great when you can see the potential in an item and then make it come to life! Well done 🙂
Girl, I found 2 owls at GW this weekend and they’re headed for paint as soon as it stops snowing! Love your makeover, and I love the z gallerie finds. 🙂
Awesome – I’ve done this before with thrift store finds also. So satisfying!

I like your owl better than alot of the animals from Z Gallerie!
You are one clever lady!! It looks just as good as anything from Z gallery. This is why your home looks like a showplace with total style, Kathysue
I love how Z Gallerie takes what would be cheesy 1960s-1970s “objects d’art,” paints them white and voila! Home accessories we can totally replicate. Love the owl.
I like how you do that. Fabulous,
I have some monkey bookends that will be white tomorrow !
i’m beaming with pride, michelle! way to go…it’s awesome! 🙂
oh my goodness!!! i read your post today, and then had to run to home depot and picked up the latest issue of “cottage style”. there, smack dab on page 13, is the twin to your owl! i kid you not!!! love it, by the way!
I am obsessed with your blog.

Michelle, you have the best syling. You always mix it up and keep it chic, edgy, and classy. I’m sure you already know us bloggers would love to live in your home. Girly you rock!
Just love it! I’ll be keeping my eyes open on my next Goodwill run!
It’s amazing how high gloss white paint can make ANYTHING look chic. Great job!
PS – did you see ZGallerie’s rhino on the cover of the latest issue of Traditional Home?
Love it! So creative and fabulous but yet so inexpensive. You always have the best ideas.
very cute! everyone needs an owl in their room!
I think I have that same owl, except mine came from the thrift in white. Spray paint = best invention ever?
Love it! Must get a new spray paint project, it’s SO much fun!!
Why did you frame the 4? I love it, but I am curious if it has meaning?
Love the owl! I did a post all about them. Your site is great.
i must not be getting your updates
LOVE the owl.
Kelly
I just found a pair of owl bookends at Good Will that will also be painted white. Thanks for the inspiration!
