My Owl Family, Created by Friends

Right around Christmas, my good friend Emily gave me some super cute vintage owl trivets- a set of 4 petite ones. Then a few weeks ago, I received a larger set of two from a new friend, Nick sent me a pair of vintage owls that were so cute!  By the way, both of these friends are super talented when it comes to furniture, so you need to check them out!  Anyhow, I finally had decent enough non-rainy non-windy spraypainting weather this past week!  So I hauled out a bunch of projects onto the deck, with a drop cloth of course.

 I painted them all white, not sure what I planned to do with them yet, but knowing I love me some white owls.  I took the larger pair to me bedroom and tried there, but they just didn’t show up well against the cloudy white walls we have.  So I walked around the house with my pair and found a place above our stairs.  I had a window there but I was tired of it.  It was just hard to reach, so it had stayed out of pure laziness.  I found a frame I had on hand that was the perfect size and was able to keep the screws from the window on the wall and just set the frame on those.  Then I mounted the owls inside the frame.  Below that, I hung the 4 little ones, and now my owl family of 6 resides above our staircase.  Some of you know we have a split foyer, so basically, you walk in the door, and if you walk in and look right up, you will see them.  I am thinking of painting the frame afun color… what do you think?

 And to give you a little perspective of where they are….

Hope you have all had a wonderful day!  Come back tomorrow for another giveaway!  And don’t forget to enter the current giveaway for an AWESOME OWL NECKLACE going on now!!!

    so cute! I think the white looks great against the creamy beige? wall but a pop of color on the frame might look great too!

    what a happy little owl family! They turned out great and I think that is the perfect spot for them. My vote for the frame color is aqua…haha! Or yellow or maybe tangerine since it’s a no go in your bedroom?

    Looks good! The white is whole lot better than the 70’s green!

    That looks so cool! You know I always love a pop of color, but this time I think you should leave the frame the color it is. It has such a “glam” look to it….:)

    That’s so cute! Your little owl family looks right at home there.

    I really like the frame white, but I’m sure if you painted it a fun color, I’d love that, too. 🙂

    Cute! So, do you ever get tired of receiving owls? Does Chris ever complain? I’m just curious!

    They look great and the frame looks wonderful with them whether white or a fun color! 😉
