I've been getting things for our family room together, these items are a few accents in the mustard color.

Here's the color pallette for this room.

I found these ceramic vases for $3.00 each.

I decided I'd keep the bottoms the same, so I taped them off with paper. 

Spray paint primer.

Then I used acrylic craft paint to paint them mustard. 

Next I dilutted brown acrylic paint and dry brushed it on to make brownish streaks.

To finish it off, I sealed it with a gloss varnish.

Then got 2 fake grass globs from the dollar store to put in them.  Not sure if I love the fake grass...those may change out with something better.

This next project was really easy.  I found a package of rattan balls at the dollar store, and used the mustard acrylic craft paint and a sponge brush to dab paint on them.

You can see they're not perfectly painted.  If I'd had yellow spray paint that would have been better.

But from a distance you can't tell it's a crappy paint job.
