Here's my latest project:
(sorry! the picture is dark)
(sorry! the picture is dark)I bought this lovely little statue at the thrift store for three dollars. It's beautiful as is, but I think that I know why it was donated. It's a bit top heavy, and easily tips over. There are some marks on the base that look like the previous owner may have weighted it down with a rock. It also has that verdigris finish that was very popular years ago, but not so much now. All of those problems can easily be fixed with a scrap of wood, a can of black spray paint, and a little R'nB in a copper color. With those little fix-ups, it's now updated,
and looks like this:
I identify with the birdy that chooses to do things
his own way.

I agree you should get a commission!! You have the most wonderful ideas and that turned out GREAT!!
oh it turned out wonderful!
I love that! I just read about Rub and Buff the other day on RMS...there is a Rub and Buff lady over there, lol, seriously, most of her pics are Rub and Buff projects...I should tell her about blogging :)
Those birds look happy now:) Thanks for sharing your talent with us :) :)
I love your birds!! Oh wow, I would love to find that cute thing at my thrift store. It looks extra special with touch that you gave it! Good job!
Those are beautiful! You are such an inspiration.
I just bought 2 tubes of rub and buff! Can't wait to get started on a project.
Thanks for posting,

That Rub and Buff is awesome. I used it on my kitchen handles since we had just put them in and I really couldn't be spending more on new ones, and it worked just great. Great find by the way. Super cute.
They totally need to pay you for endorcements at least! :) I LOVE this! I have some rub and buff just sitting around, I think I might have to attack something in my house with it! :)
Wow, who could have forseen that outcome? It looks great! What all can you do with the Rub and Buff stuff? Can it do anything for a hideous gold spray painted mirror?
love the remake! I would be happy to sign the letter to make sure that they hire you! You would make them millions!
Joy, those little birds are adorable and how smart you are to have added the stand. As for the color, another super idea. Rub n Buff should hire you as a spokesperson.

Adorable! What a great find and you really brought out the beauty in it.
Hi Joy! That looks gorgeous! Love the new copper color. I haven't tried Rub n Buff yet, but after this and your mirror and desk project, I'm going to have to give it a try. And yes, you really should get a commission!
You're amazing! you should write a book- seriously
What a great find, and you should definitely be getting a commission, all the amazing things you do with that spray paint and rub n buff. Your creativity never seems to end. Have a great weekend!
How entirely fabulous! I've never heard of RnB. I will definitely be looking into it!
The birds look great! You did a wonderful job "restoring" them. I love your decorating style and creativity!
