Two aspects I enjoy about home decor are upcycling or changing up finds and mix and matching different styles to create fresh looks. I did both with this easy thrift store makeover that started with a pair of hand bookends.
I loved the details on the hands and that they were funky, but I didn't like the pale pink flesh color so I changed that! I spray painted the hands a flat black first. I then brushed on Antique Gold Rub-n-Buff. The black underneath helps the details to better stand out. I love the juxtaposition of modern decor with antiques. It creates something unexpected and exciting to look at. The modern bookends with antique, leatherbound books is a fresh take on style. These bookends are great for creating a tabletop book display. Remember to look at what things CAN BE rather than what they are while thrifting. The hands will be for sale at my upcoming POP-UP SHOP, April 18th and 19th.
