Z Gallerie inspired.

If you've been to Z Gallerie you've probably noticed their modern assortment of white lacquered and white ceramic animal accesories. I don't know why in the world anyone would want a white horse but I sure do. ($79.00)
($199.00)

($39.95)

($149.95)
($149.95) ($49.95)
($19.99)


My new owl from Goodwill: $3.99
+
White lacquer spray paint=







Satisfaction: Priceless.
(Lindsay, I know you'd be proud).
P.S. Check back next week for a give-away.
Clue: "who, who."
No, I'm not parting with my new owl.

It's so great when you can see the potential in an item and then make it come to life! Well done :)

You are one clever lady!! It looks just as good as anything from Z gallery. This is why your home looks like a showplace with total style, Kathysue

I love how Z Gallerie takes what would be cheesy 1960s-1970s "objects d'art," paints them white and voila! Home accessories we can totally replicate. Love the owl.
