Painting Ceramic Animals and Other Knick Knacks

Decorating your home with bold-colored and white ceramic animals and other knick knacks is one of this year's biggest decorating trends. Instead of paying full price for these home accents at retail stores, start searching your local thrift stores and garage sales for gently used ceramic animals, such as owls, squirrels, dogs, pigs and birds. Don't worry about the color of the knick knack or whether it will match your existing home decor. You can paint your ceramic animal or knick knack find any color of your choice.

Painting knick knacks not only freshens up the item, but also gives you the ability to decorate your home with a one-of-a-kind item that fits your personality.
