I focused on creating a simple, yet elegant white winter centerpiece for the holiday season.  I  used a ton of branches for my Halloween outdoor pots which I spray painted in golds and browns - instead of cutting more branches, I decided to repurpose the old ones.  I had extra spray paint in the garage and sprayed the branches with three good coats of Rust-Oleum's Universal in Flat White.  Instantly they went from fall to winter!  I had the cylinder glass vase and filled it with ornaments in sparkling silver and shiny silver - these were basic extras that I had in the decoration box!  The centerpiece itself seemed as if it needed a bit of depth and I decided to spray paint  the extra clear glass ornaments with Rust-Oleum's Specialty Frosted Glass.  Once dry, I dropped them gently into the bottom of the vase along with the silver ones - building a decorative base for the crisp, clean white branches.  As I arranged the branches, I found white butterfly ornaments which I did use last year on my wreath and added them to the branches - WOW !  With a touch of spray paint and you can turn any type of home decoration  exactly to your liking!

Angie's philosophy is simple: take on projects that are affordable and easily achievable. Look for inspiration in magazines and make the projects your own. Hers are real projects for real people and they don't require you to have a background in art. Test
