I am so over roosters. I did have them in my house once upon a time but those days are over and done. My house is now rooster free but I couldn’t pass up this rooster pitcher that I found on a Shanty Shopping Spree (yes this is a term we use often) with Whitney. I purchased it at Jo-Ann’s for $5.00 and some change. I liked the shape of the spout and the handle and I knew a little spray paint would turn this shanty pitcher chic! This lonely rooster has no idea her days are numbered…
Two coats of Krylon Ivory Satin spray paint (purchased at Wal-Mart for $2.00) and the rooster is just a memory….
Definitely an improvement but it is so boring….
A dry brush of Lamp (Ebony) Black over this cute #7 stencil I made with my Cricut might do the job…..
Cute but still missing something….
A finish-off with twine (also purchased at Wal-Mart – $4.00 for a huge spool) and that should do it! I wrapped the twine around the top about 6 times and tied a bow on the side! I just love the way my new shanty2chic pitcher looks and it was so cheap! As always ~ Enjoy!
I will be posting this at reinvented for Trash to Treasure Tuesday go check it out! Lot’s of great ideas there! http://www.reinventedkb.com/2009/09/pumpkins-rising.html 
Gorgeous! I've been spraying paint those items that "just aren't my style anymore" too. Love the twine at the top – it just adds that extra little something.
Love it! I guess I need some spray paint. I'm too nervous to paint over anything—I guess I need to be adventurous! 🙂
Love it!
Very cute! Does the "7" have any significance?
Love my roosters but I just started collecting them for my kitchen…Hey but I love what you did to the pitcher…I know the rooster will grow old on me soon also but the new looks out here are starting to make say wowza…love it!
Oh I love this. Great job.
Very cool! It looks so much better now!!

Cute!!! I can't bring myself to junk the roosters. I have only a couple of them, and to be honest, I wasn't all that crazy about them to begin with. Maybe I should take the plunge…just not sure what to replace them with.
Holey numbers! First I liked it just white thinking how cute the shape was, then I LOVED the number, and then I proceeded to DIE when I saw the twine. I'm fried.
Brain is popping. Must number stuff.. NOW. So cute! Thanks for that kick of wild inspiration!

This looks fantastic! I love your idea…
There are some people who will crying when they see that you are "over roosters." Let them cry because I definitely like the new look better. SPray paint on!!!!
Cute. What a difference!
How fun and "doable"! Love your style!
I love pitcher 7! It's mighty cute.
