Finally Friday!! Woohoo!! What plans do you have?? I'm thinking its time to do some Spring Cleaning at home!! Possibly some new projects in mind too! We will just have to see!
To sweeten the pot I am an adding an extra post today! This piece has quite an interesting story behind it...Well...I came across this beaut on Craigslist (thank goodness for you!). The owner was selling it for 30 bucks! Not bad right?!
Of course I had to have it! And of course this piece had to be in tim-buck-too!
After much debating with my ever so cooperative fiance...lol...he decided to tag a long for the ride and see what all the fuss was about! We arrived in Moreno Valley, not too bad from the 91730 location?! I saw her and immediately fell in love! She had a couple of dings but nothing too severe, managed to buy her for $25!
Just take a look at her before! Love the details and hardware!
Now it was time for a makeover!
I primed...and primed...and primed
This is the not-so-fun part...but I do recommend using a good primer if you don't want to sand.
Yes, it is extremely important to prime any piece you are exposing to weather or use...
you want your paint to stick and look gorg!
I spray painted the hardware using Rustoleum Metallic finish in Oil Rubbed Bronze. After 4 coats of paint I waited a full day for the paint to dry, then I used Minwax Polycrylic to protect the finished product!
And Voila! This piece found its home in my kitchen/living room area! The pop of color was exactly what I needed to brighten my room!...Adriana
