McGee & Co Dupe Vase

Have you seen these beautiful aged pots that companies like Restoration Hardware and McGee & Co have? They are stunning!!! However the price isn’t!

That led one savvy influencer Jaci Daily to get creative and her mud technique has been sweeping the internet and many DIYers have duplicated her version with stunning results. So I JUST HAD TO TRY IT!!

Let’s Try it!!!

Supplies Needed:

• Vase or vessel

• Spray Paint of choice (I used Flat Black by Rustoleum)

• Dirt/sand/potting mix and water to mix

• Rag or paper towel

• Clear mat spray varnish (optional)

Step 1: In a well ventilated area, spray your selected colour of spray paint. Spray enough coats to cover the vessel. Let dry

Step 2: In a container, add your dirt/sand and add enough water to create a ‘mud’ texture.

Step 3: Cover the entire vessel with the dirt/mud OR cover only the areas you want to be aged. The possibilities are endless! Let completely dry.

Step 4: Using a rag or paper towel, wipe off the dried mud. You can take more off or leave some until you get your desired effect.

Step 5: Optional - you can seal your vessel with clear, matte varnish.

Have you ever tried this technique??? My mind is exploding with all the different colours and surfaces I can do this on! I have a lamp that is going to get this treatment next!
