Ashley's Wonderful Whatnot ~ Cracked Vase rehab

Hi all! My Wonderful Whatnot for the day is my cracked Hobby Lobby vase! I watched Whitney’s kid’s while she ran to Hobby Lobby. She promised to bring me back something shanty and she did just that! She came home with a metal/glass vase that had a huge piece missing…fortunately for me she still had the piece that broke off. She purchased it for $5!!!! I super glued the piece back in place, painted it with the Antique White Acrylic and Glazed it with the Ralph Lauren Smoke Glaze (of course). I then found a box of cute little green apples for $6 at Home Goods and voila! I placed it on the top of my hutch (crack to the back of course) and I just love how the green stands out! Enjoy!











I will be posting this at The inspired room for Fall Nesting at http://theinspiredroom.net/2009/09/01/get-inspired-for-fall-fall-nesting-2009/ Check it out and be inspired!

    Very smart! Who cares about the crack, right? Love the change with the color, too!

    If you can't see the crack, it's not really there :) I wish I had a shopping partner in crime too! The apples set the white off nicely! Good job!

    Looks great! I have quite a few cracked or flawed things around my house, too, but who cares if you can't see it? :) I love the green apples!

    It looks so much better! I do that all of the time. I can't see throwing something away that I know that I can fix even if I have to put the broken or chipped side to the back! LOL

    I love it! Who cares if it has a crack as long as you can display it at the back?

    Love it!
    I actually bought some broken things at Hobby Lobby this weekend - with the cracks to the back no one knows my secret!
