Loving Coral...

I love all things sea related...expecially coral. I think it's beautiful in any color and enjoy decorating my home with a bit here and there. 
However, it can be pricey, and after doing a bit of research on coral, there are some harsh ways to bring up these beauties. So I thought I'd try something different - artificial coral for aquariums. 
They looked very good on my computer monitor...good enough to try them in decorating.

Here is my little transformation:

I found this online...



Jardin Coral Shaped Aquarium Fish Tank Decoration Ornament, Pink

amazon.com

The shape was great, but not the color I had in mind...easy fix...paint!


Easy, easy fix.


Disguising it with a few other treasures, it's not so bad...what do you think?












I bought a second one...it's a beautiful blue. 
Stay tuned for that little transformation!

I'm joining Susan over at Between Naps on the Porch for her Metamorphosis Monday
Be sure to drop by for amazing transformations!

  1. OK, I would never have thought just to pull out a beautiful color and give something like that a little more POP. That looks wonderful, and now I WILL think about it.

  2. Hi Sharlotte!

    I LOVE this idea! I will be checking out the pet/fish store for some of the 'corals'!
