Pretty in Gray

I recently painted a few of my things gray and cannot believe what an improvement a simple color change can create.

I found this plaster fruit bowl urn at DI for a couple of dollars. It was a cream color and it was dirty and chipped. I gave it a fresh coat of primer and then painted it gray.

At the same DI, I found these cherub & swag shelves that had been painted bright gold. I painted them gray and then glazed and distressed the surface.

This small cherub wall plaque was 50 cents at a garage sale and I painted it gray too.

Last, but not least, is this small gold lamp base that I purchased at a yard sale for $1. It wasn't much to look at when it was gold, but now it is pretty in gray.
