Yes, yes, the “who” thing is getting tiring, but hey ~ they’re owls. It’s gotta be done. I posted about getting these owls for the great price of $15.00.
They are quite big {about 19-20 inches tall} and quite heavy. I envisioned them with an Anthropology type look, even though Anthropology doesn’t seem to have anything like what I transformed them into. Here they are!
Simply done with a spray of good old white gloss paint! Well, actually four coats of good old white gloss paint.
They are ready to make their new home at my daughter’s house, but I couldn’t resist making up a vignette or two with them before they go.

Very, Very Cute! Your daughter will love them! xo Diana
They look majestic now. Nice job Kathy.
Hi Kathy,
Love those owls painted up white.
I know what you mean about four coats of paint. Sometimes these small items with lots of little crevices take quite a bit of paint. I always seem to miss a spot or two so now I give them an extra coat whether they need it or not.
Love how you have used them in your vingettes.

Those are great Kathy and you made them even better... 2 for 15.00 - wow , what a deal..
You did good girlfriend! I do the same thing....purchase stuff, redo, then off to my daughter for her little apartment.
Those owls are awesome. I'm sure they will look beautiful in your daughter's home. Nice job with the spray paint.
They look great painted.
Shoot! I wish I didn't throw away my owl from the 70's...

These are fabulous...I never thought much about owls, but they are popping up in all the stores and on blogs -WHOOO would have thought?
Love Them! Great Idea using the Gloss. I am sure she will love them.
I've had a huge weakness lately for owls, especially white ones. They look great!
The white high gloss makes them look completely different! I definitely like...Thanks for sharing.
These are great! I love them painted! The Harry Potter books are a great touch too! Kathy, you always have such a wonderful eye on transforming treasures!
Kathy, these look FABULOUS!!!
Kathy, what a great transformation!! These are adorable! Your daughter is a lucky girl!!
Owls are the thing now I think. My friend has a big collection and my mother-in-law loves them.
I like them painted and your daughter will love them!
I'm embarrassed to admit that I would've passed these by, and look at what I missed out on!! I think they look GREAT!! Good eye, Kathy!
I just love the transformation. The owls look amazing. And who doesn't love owls?
How wonderful your owls are! I understand owls are "big" this year.
They turned out so pretty! I really like the new color. It definitely brings them up to the modern age. I'm sure your daugher is going to love them.
So adorable! I'm always on the lookout for something like that that I can Redo with a can of spray paint! XO Cindy
I love those owls!!! Your daughter will be thrilled!
These remind me of some brass owl bookends we had when I was growing up. Yours are a different style, but look similar to ours, which may still be in the attic for all I know. You know how attics are, I'm sure.
You've made your modern with the paint and how you've decorated with them. Love the owl on top of the stacked books.
Thank you for continuing to add your great posts such as this one to the Your Cozy Home Party. I always like seeing what new projects you're doing.
Wonderful expressions of art...loved going through your blog! You're pretty AMAZING, I am sure you must know that already.
I totally loved how these turned out, Kathy! I didn't realize they were that tall--you really got a good deal. The gloss white was the perfect choice.
Hi Kathy,
What a pair!!
They turned out amazing, love them white. Great makeover!
All the Best,
Christine
