Instead of paying over $100 per vessel for Pottery Barn vases, try creating your own spray paint vase!<\/em><\/p>\n

Does anyone here love an easy thrift store makeover like me?!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If so, I’ve got a fun DIY project idea anyone can easily do at home! A couple of years ago, I turned $12 worth of mismatched ceramic pottery pieces from Goodwill into a high-end-looking centerpiece for my dining room table! I totally enjoyed doing this simple project and am STILL in love with how it turned out.<\/p>\n

\"spray<\/p>\n

I get so many compliments to this day about how beautiful these pieces are everyone is surprised to learn they are from a thrift store! I’m hoping you’ll find some inspiration to do something similar in your home.<\/p>\n

\n

It’s all thanks to a can of matte finish black spray paint<\/a> and some wet dirt. Yep, I said dirt, but stick with me because it’ll make sense later!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"black<\/p>\n

By spray painting all of these pieces the same color, they look like they all belong together, and I now have a stylish focal point for my table. If you were to look for these at your local import store or home boutique, they’d likely be so much more expensive.<\/p>\n

Get this same beautiful DIY Pottery Barn-inspired look, but use thrift store pieces to save money and recycle.<\/h2>\n

This type of old-world-looking vessel is super popular and trendy right now in home decor but can be pricey. As an example, I found these similar-looking black Pottery Barn vases that costs over $100<\/a> per vase! I love my thrift store makeover just as much.<\/p>\n

\"goodwill<\/p>\n

First stop: your local thrift store!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I love thrifting in general and especially enjoy checking out the home goods area first for interesting shaped pieces to makeover. You’ll likely find lots of mismatched pottery pieces that would be perfect for this project in most thrift stores. Mine were priced at $5 or less for each, so I invested around $12 for these pieces altogether.<\/p>\n

Before shopping, take a look around your home to see if you already have some pieces in need of a makeover. This DIY is a wonderful opportunity to give them new life!<\/p>\n

\"rubbing<\/p>\n

Spray paint and then rub with dirt for a worn finish.<\/h2>\n

This process could not be easier and more forgiving. After all, the point of it is to not<\/strong> have it look perfect. I first spray painted all of my pottery pieces using black matte spray paint, then went over them using dirt. Rubbing wet dirt on the pottery before it dries will give it a more rustic-worn look.<\/p>\n
