Last month I posted a picture of this spice rack I stumbled across in one of my regular thrift stores for $4.50.
The painting possibilities were endless. I didn't know where to start. I felt like I would be overwhelmed by color combinations if I went paint shopping at a retail store. Instead, I went paint "shopping" in my garage cabinets. I decided on a dark brown, a creamy white, a turquoise spray paint, and a silver acrylic paint.
The entire spice rack is put together with very small nails, even the metal inserts. It needed a bit of attention, so I took a small hammer and doctored (tightened) it all up. I removed the yellow, metal inserts. They didn't need to be nailed back in because they fit so snug in their place.
I started by painting the inside of the rack the creamy white. It took 2 coats. Then, I painted the outside brown, two coats again. While I was waiting for the rack to dry, I spray painted the inserts. Finally, I brushed some silver paint on the knobs.
All finished!
I don't know where I am going to hang the rack yet, so I opted to take some pictures of it outside on our patio mantel.
