Wine Rack Transformation!

While thrifting last week I stumbled upon this little wine rack at our GoodWill Store. This is after his little makeover.

This is before....while he was still a lovely shade of orange wood.

Very simple transformation. A can of black matte spray paint (the cheap stuff from Wal-Mart, sprayed the whole thing, and then sanded and sanded. I actually sanded most of the spray paint off, well about half. Then I used a wet paper towel to rub red craft paint all over it. And wiped it back off. Just your basic distressing. It was fun, and easy and just the thing to sit on top of my wine rack.
My husband's comment about it made me LOL. He said "It looks like something you would see on The Black Pearl.  I am not sure if I should take that as a compliment or not! ;0)

    LOL! It actually does look like it could be on the Black Pearl! But it is so fun, and a great makeover!
    P.S...sorry I messed up on my last blog post! I went back and changed it so your blog name is there now! I posted that one really LATE at night, so my brain wasn't working!

    That is an intersting piece...ha! And I have to agree with your hubby's black pearl comment. You did a great job on it, though, and should be proud. :)
