Corinna Henderson on Aug 26, 2015Those are AMAZING! Really fabulous find :) I would want to say a glossy navy or royal blue. Or you could hand paint fun designs on them (how boho would that be?!)Helpful Reply

Z on Aug 26, 2015Oh, I wish I could find something like these. I love elephants and collected them since the seventies. Are they tall enough to use as a base for a console/sofa table? As for how to paint them, it would depend on where you are using them.Helpful Reply

Erin on Aug 26, 2015I think I'm going to use them outside and I think I'm going to doodle all over them and add a few fluer De lis's on the flower pot to tie into everything I have on my patio! I love all the comments..... But unfortunately they are a thin plaster and I don't think they'll hold up with items on top!Helpful Reply

Deb Martin Knaff on Aug 27, 2015I love the idea of doodles with diamonds, squares, stripes, swirls, etc. using all the bright colors of India would be eye-popping!!!!!! Good luck with whatever you do because it is your design. I do hope you post pics of the finished friends (They look like they should have adorable names like Farley & Petunia or Rufus and Ruby.)Helpful Reply

Eileen on Aug 30, 2015spray paint them bright pink, then paint with white enamel and wipe enamel off when wet so it has a patina look. Would be great for entertaining, all your guest would be seeing "pink elephants!" have fun, I'm sure whatever you do will be fab!Helpful Reply
