A Little Paint Goes A Long Way
things that were previously old, plain, ordinary, and boring are given a new life. I used Krylon Indoor/Outdoor spray paint in Cherry Red and Celery in gloss.
And it looks even more impressive with pound cake on top.
Edited to add: I am not sure if spray paint is "food safe" as far as painting for everyday use, including knife use. The pieces that I have painted are going to be used as serving pieces, not eating-off-of pieces. I would think the food would be as safe on these pieces as they would sitting a cookie, M&Ms, etc., on top of a painted piece of furniture or chair and then eating it. As long as you aren't scraping up paint with a fork, knife, fingernail, etc., it should be safe. That's just my opinion, though.

When you spray items with krylon like this on dishes do you have to be careful it doesnt chip off? or in the food? I always wonder about spraying dishes such as this and how it works with having food on it / toxic precautions? Do you know? Because this is a killer idea!!! LOVE IT
Now I have to go back to the goodwill and see how much I can buy them back for, because I can just see them barn red in my kitchen. Is that crazy?
