Decorating with white accessories seems to give a room a soft, calm, and at the same time, bright, clean feeling.\u00a0 They aren\u2019t always easy to find at some of my favorite shops though.\u00a0 A few years ago I found these three small white vases at IKEA and love them!\u00a0 So I decided to paint some of the accessories I already had white.\u00a0 After searching online I found lots of great tips the project.\u00a0 In the midst of all this a friend needed some pieces for her office bookshelves and we found some great things at a thrift store to try to transform!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

First, I washed everything in warm soapy water and dried it thoroughly.\u00a0 Some sites I visited used canned air to \u201cdust\u201d the pieces off.\u00a0 That seemed like a pretty good idea, but I wanted to make sure any grime and dirt was washed away, so maybe doing both would be best!<\/p>\n

Then I found a medium-sized cardboard box with one side open and laid it on its side.\u00a0 Placing my first piece in the box, I began to spray on the primer.\u00a0 Use short strokes\u2026don\u2019t just hold down the nozzle and spray away.\u00a0 The paint will go on too heavy and begin to run and drip. I carefully turned the piece to get solid coverage.\u00a0 I let the primer dry (which happens fast) and then began spraying on the gloss white paint using the same short stroke technique.\u00a0 Let dry.\u00a0 Then I added a second coat of white and allowed it to dry.\u00a0 Lastly, the clear gloss was sprayed on the piece and allowed to dry completely!\u00a0 It is really this simple!!<\/p>\n

\"Unpainted<\/a>\"\"\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

This project was definitely worth the little bit of time, effort, and little bit of expense it took to accomplish!\u00a0 The results were just as I had hoped! \u00a0Undoubtedly, this effect can be mastered in any color of your choosing!
\n*The photos of the painting process were taken using my friend\u2019s pieces.\u00a0 The others are pieces I painted for myself.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
