A Hot Mess Turned Into a Mighty Steed

A thrifty find was this horse head someone with a, um shall we say, different sort of decor sense, spray painted bright lime green. I mean seriously, what could they have been thinking?? Now some of you would have looked at it and kept on walking. Not me, I looked deep into his eyes and sensed sadness. This once mighty stead was destined for the glue factory. He was humiliated. His honor was covered in a fugly paint job. Into my cart he went! I was determined to return him to him his pride and glory.
