Copper is back on trend now, just like brass which was also a decor taboo for a while.
(Brass is also back in style and it always happens after I've gotten rid of it all!)

I had a "brilliant" idea to buy a can of copper spray paint with my 40% off coupon at Michael's craft store,
and spray some things I already had around the house.
This galvanized tray, a.k.a. drip pan, was my first victim.
(Don't you love my new sugar and creamer set?
My husband got them for me for Valentine's day.
He knows I love it when the words are written in French.)

I sprayed some shapely bottles and some Dollar Tree ceramic birds with the copper spray paint as well.
Do my "on trend" DIY copper accents make me one of the cool kids now?
still following,

Thank you, Kelleyn!
DeleteGorgeous set!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tamar!
DeleteI love it!!! I still have brass candle holders that I refuse to get rid of. Guess I'm not too trendy ;) But I like the idea of spray painting a few things, especially the bottles. Did you have to do any prep other than making sure they were clean?
ReplyDeleteI just made sure the bottles were clean. I figured I had nothing to lose if my idea didn't work. I passed on all my brass to my daughter, so at least someone is getting use out of it.
DeleteI love coffee setting shots. Well done.
ReplyDeleteMe, too, Nicki!
DeleteI love that pen and ink drawing (and its mat) above the tray with the sprayed bottles and bird.
ReplyDeleteI've had those ink and pen drawings for over three decades, done by a sweet lady in a church where we were youth pastors.
DeleteYou're so brave :)
ReplyDeleteNot brave at all. Three dollars worth of spray paint and nothing to lose since I didn't paint anything of value.
DeleteI love Carley Simon and your still-life photos
ReplyDeleteI loved that quote from "You're so Vain" for that coffee photo, too!
DeleteGood idea to paint them. I'd just keep them how they were and be completely out of vogue. Nice image for the song!
ReplyDeleteNice subject and great shots.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Betty!
DeleteLove it! You've been busy with that copper paint since we were together last week. Your hubby's gift is sweet! He knows you well, dear friend.
ReplyDelete~Adrienne~
Adrienne, I've gone CrAzY with that copper paint!
DeleteNice copper bowl but I think that little bird is just adorable.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ida. Just a dollar tree birdie covered in copper spray paint!
DeleteI need to get back to my coffee series. These photos inspire me to get on it.

Great idea with the spray paint! I have an old and very dated fake brass chandelier I've been wondering what to do with...now I have an idea :). Thanks for sharing at Song-ography.
ReplyDeleteYou're cool because your His kid, copper or no, lol :) But I do like your accents. Yay, for spray paint! Your stills are lovely, as always, Elizabeth!
