Welcome to our final installment of wacky April Fool’s projects. When most people tackle a makeover, it’s usually something like a chair, or an ugly old shelf, or some such.
Very few, and by very few I mean once, has anyone sent me a plastic deer head makeover.
This before deer honestly looks like something that you might find near the singing fish decor in Wal-Mart. But Lindsay was thinking less Wal-Mart, more Z Gallerie, where she had spotted a faux deer mount for $220.
So she got out the high gloss white and classed up that deer, and now he’s looking like this and light years away from this.

April 5, 2010 at 8:36 PMThis is awesome – I’d love to do it for our little place up in the mountains where “Rustic Chic” is the theme. Did she use a spray paint or a semi-gloss white painted on with a brush??

April 6, 2010 at 8:13 PMi’m so glad y’all like the ole’ deer!
i used gloss spray paint and then got in the little crevices (in the ears, nostrils) with a small brush.
that sounded so weird. 🙂
anyway, here’s my blog: http://dancingthrulife.blogspot.com
