Trash to Treasure: White Sculptural Accent

This weekend the husband was out of town. What does that mean? Girls-only garage sale-ing and an empty garage! Woo hoo! Two of my (cheap cheap) garage sale finds got a high gloss makeover to create a sleek white sculptural piece. My inspiration came from a few bright white pieces I've been eying over at Z Gallerie...


Very cute but sadly out of my budget. So with a little creativity I got the same look for much less...

Add some white spray paint and a thick coat of lacquer... and here's the AFTER:

Not bad for $1.50. Anything can be art when it's put together in a creative way and then painted a cohesive color. I'd love to see other DIYers trash to treasure works of art. Email me photos and I'll make sure they make it to a Reader Revamp! :)
