It belonged to my daddy, and after he died my mom gave it to me. We are, after all, a duck family. I love having this duck, but as you can see it was very dark, and very dark has a way of making me feel suffocated. Also, it was way too much contrast, in my opinion, for the future look of my living room, where I plan for this duck to live.
I woke up this morning with this duck on my mind. So, still in my jammies, I took this duck and a can of ivory spray paint into the back yard and did this:
Wah lah, no longer a dark duck. I gave it a couple of coats, then lightly sanded it
And there it is. A two hour project (includes drying time) and I'm really pleased with the duck makeover.
Oh girl, you did good! I've always heard that if you have something that is sentimental but that needs to be updated or changed, just do it. This was a perfect example. The sanding really made it.
