Goodwill Goodie Makeover Monday

What a gorgeous day!  It is perfect painting weather and so I started my Goodwill Goodie makeover early this week.  In fact, I'm may start a makeover every Monday and finish up on Friday.  That is, until the weather turns too cold or the goodies are gone!

I purchased this a few weeks ago and think it will look fantastic by our fireplace displayed with long-handled matches in it.

It has required a bit of sanding due to the decorative painting.  I have already painted it flat black and now am waiting for it to dry.  It may need a second coat.  I'm not sure if I will use a second color on it ~ I may just distress it and leave it black.

Check back on Friday to see the finished result!
