Thought I would show you a quick redo of a small garage sale item. Actually I'm buying a little time until I can get some better pictures of another project which is finished but too heavy for me to move to a decent setting for pictures. So in the meantime here's a look at a sad little item waiting for an update.
First order of business was to remove and paint the label holders. Easy enough as they were screwed on to the wood.
A few squits of spray paint took care of these. Wish I could read the color on this spray can. I think it was called Stainless Steel.
In case you are wondering about the shredder, I used it to hold my screws while I sprayed them.
Yes, it's the old "go-to" black. (Rustoleum Satin #7777). I had it on hand and it seemed like the logical choice.
And in between special events it works nicely in a home office or hanging on the wall in a message center. Then there is the old spice rack idea...is that what it was originally meant to be?

Reassemble the label holders and it is complete. Very easy to pop in interesting labels on a whim. It stands nicely by itself and I could see using it on a buffet to hold napkins or flowers. Could be very cute on a candy bar with various treats in each bin. I think it lends itself very well to a themed party table. Giving the creativity free rein on the labels could make this the hit of the party.
Nice project. How are the chairs?
ReplyDeleteGreat update! The black looks great!
ReplyDeleteWow I will be popping in regularly. I have just started updating a chest of draws (never done before) and a can of undercoat is my best friend. Started on Sunday, update tomorrow, hopefully finished by end of the week. Saw you on decor8 e-course.
ReplyDeleteI love this little shelf and see many possibilities for it! Great find and wonderful redo. The little label holders are perfect in their new color against the black.
