I found this glass cutie at Goodwill and thought it would be a great piece to hold the TV remote but I didn't like the fact that it was clear. So, how about adding some white spray paint and turning it into "milk glass".
So I got the newspapers out to protect my work area.
I spray painted the top and sides of the piece.
When dried, I flipped it over and painted what I missed with the first coat.
Looks like milk glass to me!
Hey, wait a minute. Let's look at that first picture again. I just may have made a true copy cat!
Gotta love Goodwill plus a little spray paint!

I'm starting to like milk glass even more after this post. Look out thrift stores here I come for your ugly glass!
I've always been rather passionate about glass which was tinted blue-green... but I think I may just have to give this a go... there's something VERY romantic about the look of this white glass... hmmm... nice job! x
Oh, I love this Marilyn. I love milk glass but it's pretty expensive here. I'm so going to do this.

It's amazing what a little spray paint will do. I love your faux milk glass!
What a terrific idea. I never knew you could just spray paint glass! It's beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing.
That is so cute!! That is crazy that's its the same one from the picture!! I love how you spray painted it white. Such a fun project! Thanks so much for sharing this as well at Thursday's Temptation.

I would never have thought to do that. I would be afraid of messing up the pretty clear one. It turned out great for you and really does look like milk glass which I love.---------- Shannon
Love love! I'm going to have to do this soon! Need to start scouring flea markets for glassware =) Thanks for sharing and giving me inspiration

Came over from Twigg. I thought I saw a copy cat. I did, I did! Great project. Beware all you clear glass items lurking at the thrift shops. Your days are numbered!
