Goodwill Goodie Finish Friday

Wow ~ 3 posts in 1 day!  This week's goodwill goodie makeover was a little more time consuming than the past ones I have done.  The roll top of the bread box took a little extra time to paint, distress, and wax ~ but it was well worth the effort.  Here's the makeover result ~





There was a weird glare coming from the bread box in these photos ~ the "white" that is showing up in the corners and other places is not actually there.  I think maybe the sunlight and flash caused it.  Right now, I have those great thrifty candles displayed on it.  It has been great to have some extra storage space in the kitchen ~ 'cause, really, who couldn't use some extra storage in the kitchen.

I'm hoping to get in some painting this weekend.  The weather is suppose to be changing tonight, and I would like to have as many makeovers in-the-process before it gets too cold to paint.  Then I can spend time this winter distressing, waxing, and tweaking ~ plus have something to post about!

  1. I love it! Did you brush on the paint, or
    use spray paint? I don't have time to do
    mine, right now....I have one with a pull
    down door on the front in my kitchen and
    keep my vitamins and supplements in it.
    I need to paint it, too. I am too busy
    doing ornies. You did a great job on it!

  2. I spray painted it ~ I really like how fast that is and the smooth coverage it gives.

    Thanks!

  5. It is gorgeous. I also use spray paint because of the coverage. It is the stain that gives it the aged look and I love it. I will miss painting all winter. Right now, the weather is perfect for grunging candles!
