Happy Monday!
Today I have a super easy DIY for your desk that involves only two things:
I happened to be in Hobby Lobby over the weekend and saw these precious little animal figurines. All of the sudden, it hit me! I remembered something I had seen on pinterest and knew exactly what to do with these cuties.
We already had this gold Krylon spray paint, so I sprayed a couple of coats outside, let them dry overnight, and voila!
Desk animals!
I painted both a pig and elephant, but my favorite is this guy:
With this DIY, you can get insanely creative. What about desk dinosaurs? Kitties? Flamingos? A whole farm village of gold animals? (Okay, maybe that’s taking it a little too far.)
But the list does go on and on!
Not quite sold? Before I leave you, here’s more desk inspiration…
Easy as pie, and super cute. Have fun 🙂
Love, Cait
i LOVE this idea!
I love this idea too! I see a new project in my future 🙂
ohh I love this!!!
How fun! I love these!
So cute and easy! I've been wanting to try this diy!
Love the giraffe idea & your elephant is precious! These would be super cute on a bookshelf.
Oh my goodness, I love these!!
These are SO cute!!!
This is such a fabulous idea!!!
Ah! those are SO cute. I literally would never think to do that, but I love them!
This is such a cute and easy idea!

What a cute and easy idea! LOVE it, especially the elephant!
I LOVE this, so cute and simple too! Why don't animals naturally come in gold? All that glitters is gold after all…

Such a cute idea! I love all these photos 🙂
So cute! Love the elephant.
Love the elephant! Don't they mean good luck??
I NEED a gold elephant! …and maybe a giraffe 🙂 absolutely precious!!
Oh my word and they look so pretty on your jewelry box! Such a great idea.
This is amazing and something I would've never thought of myself.
We are completely on the same wavelength….today I was going nuts with my gold spray paint! This is super cute. I just bought a lot of white elephants on Etsy, but they are going to have to stay white for our decor in the living room. Maybe I will look for an elephant to do gold for my desk since my desk has gold legs. Also…elephant with a trunk up is good luck, so you got it right.
Too cute! They look great 🙂
ohmygosh, that is the neatest sweetest idea ever!
Look at those little cuties!

That is amazing. It really is.
I loved seeing it on instagram last night but was waiting for the story behind it. I will seriously have to try this! I love animal decor and gold makes them look so chic!
I've been wanting to do this for a while! I am waiting til I find the perfect figurines to paint! I really want to do a dog of somesort.
I'm obsessed with your monogrammed jewelry box in the background of your pictures. Do you by chance remember where you got it from?
Hey Taylor! Yes, the monogrammed jewelry box is from Handpicked. I got it a few months ago! If you don't have a store nearby, you can also buy it online. Here's the link: http://www.handpicked.net/product_info.php?cPath=263_269&products_id=445#.UDzdDI73Ay4
It's the perfect size to hold all my bangles!
Wow this is actually very easy and straightforward to do but I never even thought of doing such a thing 🙂
Great, thank you so much!
This is pretty awesome, I think I might go a little crazy with this…
How cool is this! I must find a donkey and paint it gold. I love donkeys!
i love this idea! so simple and affordable but such an awesome decor piece! will definitely be trying this soon!
Love this DIY! So simple and super cute!

love this idea – so cute!! 🙂
Interesting blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?
A theme like yours with a few simple adjustements would really make my blog shine.
Please let me know where you got your design.
Cheers
