When I saw this at the thrift store for 2 bucks I couldn’t resist. Unlike my previous attempt I didn’t have to use power tools so I knew things would be OK. (I tried to turn my other bread box into a phone charger station with holes in the back, but I almost took out a finger instead. OPPS!)
Here is the lovely BEFORE shot:
And I was going to use it to cover up THIS spot:
Here is the AFTER pictures:
It worked – now my little coffee station looks like this:
The rundown was:
1.) spray paint white – at least 3 coats
2.) sand edges to distress
3.) add a little brown glaze to age it even more.
If you want more in depth details see this post.
What fun! I hope I’ve inspired a few folks out there. Just go for it!
