You want to know where I got my solid white cow in my kitchen? Hobby Lobby.

You want to know what it looked like before I spray painted it white? Boom.

Typical rustic décor, right? Totally different when the cow is glossy white. Very YHL chic. Got the idea from John and Sherry of course. In fact, I entirely blame them and a few other bloggers for my spray paint obsession. You’ll notice that the picture above includes Apple Barrel Glossy Acrylic Paint, which can be found at most craft stores… or Walmart. I tried it first, but quickly realized it wasn’t going to work for the cow. So, as soon as I had several items ready that I wanted to paint white, I gathered them all up and gave them a few coats of Rust-Oleum’s Gloss White Enamel Spray Paint. It did the trick two years ago and continues to hang on tight. So far the victims have been a lamp and this cow. I’ve got a few other things waiting to also get their gloss coat though.

Would you believe that I never spray painted until I started following blogs? It’s true. In fact, this cow is covered in drips because I was still learning HOW to spray paint. My husband is an expert spray painter so I took some tips from him. To his dismay I still don’t have enough patience to wait the full recommended dry time. In fact, I wouldn’t necessarily say I’m a good spray-painter now…
