To some this might just look like a photo of a pile of junk. But in the right hands, this pile of outdated, grungy looking thrift store finds become decor treasures. It never ceases to amaze us the magic of a little spray paint. Click through to see the after image.
The transformation of that mottled brown owl and old camera are real standouts for us. Jessica Wilson of Craft shows us her steps in creating these fresh and new again decor accent pieces. Are you curious about how the doll turned out? It might not be everyone's cup of tea but click here to see.

The doll's after picture creeps me out, but I love the owl.
yeah I agree, that doll is very creepy!
ah! I'm going to have nightmares now!
ugh blue baby :( thats not a good sign. i think a different color and some hand painting of the lashes and eyes it would be cute. needs help. the rest of the bunch is super!
Yeah... that is one creepy baby. The gnome kind of rocks my socks though.
Inspiring. I have lots of 1/3 full cans of spraypaint that would work well for a little project like this. I always see cool looking but dourly colored thirft store objects and this would sure spruce them up.
I love spray paint and I am always at thrift stores, but I would never have thought to spray paint any of this stuff. It all looks great though (except that creepy baby!).
I have that exact camera, which I found at a thrift store. It broke the first time I used it, so I ordered a replacement off Ebay (what can I say, I was on a kick at that point!). I had the broken one around for a bit for my daughter to play with. I bet I tossed it, but if it ever shows up I'm definitely painting it.
Love it! So fun.
i love this post because it really does make a huge difference! i've been gathering items to spray and shelf, can't wait!
hey, creepy baby dolls are the awesome! thank you for the project lurve, it was a tribute to my mamos' who painted EVERYTHING gold or bronze.

IMO most of these items looked better before the spray paint, especially the mottled owl and the rabbit candlestick.
