Everyone has a trophy they don’t want to throw away but don’t know what to do with. I transformed some inexpensive trophies I bought from eBay for $2.00 and painted them turquoise for a more kitschy pop effect. Now they are whimsical pieces of “faux” sculpture that would look great on a bookshelf or dressing a mantel. I mixed in my new turquoise blue “statuary” with a collection of vintage beauty pageant trophies I absolutely treasure from the 1930’s. I also like the idea of giving “Best in Show” dog trophies a second life and painting them a glossy white. They would be a humorous and sweet nod to man’s best friend and a great way to add personality to a library or study. Look out for them at flea markets and yard sales. They are everywhere.
