If you ever pass up decorative accessories because they aren't the right color, this makeover might make you think again.

We've been slowing updating what used to be a playroom into more of a tween hangout space. With so many projects in the works at the same time, it's been a slow process.

We decided to have a designated R wall so I've searching for different styles of letters to hang on it.

This lowercase R was on clearance at Hobby Lobby and it was too good a deal to pass up. Since we already had a white R, I knew a quick paint job would change it in no time.

Using a chip brush, I brushed on a coat of antiquing glaze. Without letting it dry, I wiped off the excess. I love how the glaze catches in all the nooks and crannies and gives it a true aged appearance.

Since this letter wouldn't be getting handled, I didn't even bother using a top coat to seal it. Seriously, this is the easiest makeover ever! You can paint ANYTHING and glazing it probably took less than 5 minutes!

Even though I really liked how the R looked white, we needed another color to balance it out. As you can see, we still need to finish the wall but I'm happy to finally make some progress!
