Friday! So, what was this week's makeover? To be honest, I wasn't even sure what I would pick to makeover! First, I thought a peg shelf ~ then, it was a recipe box ~ but finally, decided on this ~
It's a brand new cutting board that I picked up at Goodwill. You can see where the label caused some discoloration. I needed something to hide an outlet in my kitchen and this is the perfect size. It was a bit tricky with the grooves, but in the end they just added some dimension.
Here's the result ~ (I included 2 photos because I couldn't decide which showed it better)
Here's how I used it to cover an outlet ~
Notice the gingerbread ~ they just seem to keep popping up places in our home! I love how the grooves mimic the roll-top of the bread box ~ ties the whole display together, don't you think!

What paint did you use for your bread box,
ReplyDeleteI know you said you sprayed it. I painted
one this week, I brushed it on and boy
was it a pain! Did you put a stain over
it? I love your cutting board! I have some
that I want to get painted, but it has been
kinda cold for painting outside. Have a
great weekend!

The cheapest spray paint that Wal-Mart or Dollar General carries. I like it better than some of the more expensive brands. I did wipe some stain on it after I distressed it. I don't have the patience to brush paint, plus I like the smooth finish that spraying produces. It's been too cold here to paint ~ hoping that this weekend warms up a bit!
ReplyDeleteReally like it! I use spray paint, too. It is easier and cheaper and dries faster. I use old socks to rub on and off the stain. I've tried Briwax(expensive)and shoe polish(not enough color for me) and Minwax--my perfect solution.
ReplyDeleteLove your make overs. Explain how you do them--please!
