Here is one of my latest auction makeovers.
I won this cute little old, sturdy wine and glass stand at the auction for only $2.00. I call it an awesome rolling pin holder instead.
First for the makeover I lightly sanded it all over with a medium grit sandpaper. Then wiped it clean with a damp rag.
Then I gave it a good coat of Rustoleum brand spray paint in the ALMOND color from Lowes.
For the top, I let it dry and did a second coat of paint.
Then after drying for about 6 hours, I got out some light grade sandpaper and began to rough up the edges.
I wanted to give it a better finish but still look like it had been around a while and used.
So the edges really looks way better when you do this.
And it was starting to look pretty good after about 15 minutes or so.
Here is a closeup of the side leg.
These are meant for holding glasses just under the top, but I'm not sure yet what I'm going to display there. Maybe nothing if I can't find something to look right with rolling pins in the bottom.
In the full size pics like below, you can't see all the details, but they are there.
I like it 99% better than the before photo, what about ya'll?
And I had also gotten a wall cabinet too.
I can't find my before picture of it, but here it is after I cut out the doors and added chicken wire.
This cabinet had solid wood doors on it before.
I won it at the auction for only $5.00.
I asked my husband to go cut the doors out.
And then I just stapled on some chicken wire from the inside.
Look close above the cabinet. I made a fake clothes line with string and bits of cut fabric. |
The cabinet looks way better and so much more country now!
I didn't have to paint it. I just left it the old original color.
I priced this chicken wire door cabinet for
And it has already sold.
Thank you!
See ya'll next time,
