I have seen pottery that I like and then notice that it has decorative painting on it. Don't worry it's not permanent! So after a warm soapy soak and a little elbow grease with a scouring pad, viola, much better. I have gotten several pieces like this.

Thanks for the tip Michelle!
Michelle is that really all it takes to remove that decorative painting!? To think, all of the pieces I have passed up....thanks so much for the tip :)
Thanks for the tip! I too, have passed up pieces because of the decorative painting wasn't my style!
Hi Michelle. I just LOVE your blog and all of your decorating. I just relocated from Colorado to Hinckley, IL and was wondering if you can tell me where some great primitive style shops are and where all the good garage saling is. Thanks and I really enjoy seeing how you make all of your pieces fit into your beautiful home!
Wow! Who knew you could get that off like that? LOVE your "new" bowl. xo Diana
ps. Just so you know I will try and get your book out later this week...crazy around here right now. xo Diana
What an awesome idea! I had no idea you could easily get the painting off. Love the NEW bowl!
Have a great day!
Be blessed

Who in their right mind would have painted one of those bowl in the first place?! I see the little crocks quite often and have passed them up because they are painted...never again! Thanks!
See you soon :)

Well, I am surprised! I will be on the look out for bowls now. Thank you so much.Just never would have thought it would come off.
I didn't know you could take that stuff off!!! Your new bowl is perfect now. Good job. -Steph-
What a great idea to do for the holidays or for a party!! Love it!!
=] I'm so VERY glad you are back to blogging, Michelle!! I recall this trick from before, don't I? I'm pretty sure I remember it.
Oh my I would never have thought the paint would come off but I guess if it's Acrylic paint it would loosen up a bit after a good soak.
I bought a Pewter creamer/sugar a couple years ago at a craft show and it had a snowman scene painted on it...YIKES...on Pewter!! But I loved the shape and patina of the Pewter so I bought it with the idea of doing what you did was afraid to try it. Guess I will....thanks for the tips.
Your bowl is beautiful now!
