I love animals, real and not so real.
Every now and then, they need a little help…
This guy looked a little fake, scary, the wow factor was definitely missing.
Spray paint to the rescue!
NOW, He’s magazine worthy. I’ve seen his kind around a lot lately!
(Like these from Ballard Designs-click on the photo to go see them.)

ArchiveThat looks so much better Debbie! I have not jumped on the antler wagon yet. Maybe if I find a small pair one day. Happy Thursday!
Reminds of ones that David Bromstad has used on Color Splash! He uses alot of animal heads in he's designs! And in bold colors! Love the idea!
Donna, A bold color is a great idea! Maybe the next one :)
Oh the power of spray paint, how great it is! He does look less scary and definitely magazine worthy! Way to go!
Love this...I have a pair of antlers that are waiting for spray paint!
Looks great! I have been a fan of Ballard Designs for quite a few years. Your creation has the look yet is one of a kind..Best of all YOU created it! Good job.

Oh my gosh. This is one of the best knock offs I've ever seen. And so easy. Isn't paint wonderful? Happy Weekend Debbie!

Hi Debbie,
Great makeover!!!
It always amazes me what a little white paint can do!
Love it!
All the Best,

Really beautiful. Amazing what a coat of spray paint can do. Love the different variations and shadows even with just the white paint.
I love this! I cannot believe how different it looks after! I guess now I will be on the hunt for my own! I am hosting my first link party today, and would love for you to add this along with anything else you like!
