Gingerbread House Re-color

In my recent breakfast room holiday decor post, I showed you this gingerbread house that I thrifted and repainted. Read on to see the before and after:

Here is the little house as I found it for $4.99. I loved that it was a gingerbread home and loved the candies, but not the coloring so much. I felt like the coloring was a little drab compared to the rest of my Christmas candy decor. No problem, a little bit of paint and...

...everything is better!

Using acrylic paints I recolored all of the candies in brighter shades. You can't really tell from the photos, but I applied some clear glitter puffy paint as well. I also repainted all of the icing, making it plain white instead of sprinkled.

It fits in with the rest of my decor so much better now! Whenever I'm thrifting I like to remember that with a little craftiness anything can become perfect 😍

And that's my new (to me) gingerbread house.
