Anyways, on to my project that I wanted to share with you today. I recently found this baker's rack on the side of the road waiting for the garbage men to pick it up. It had quite a bit of rust on it. Here she is as I rescued her.
I gave her a good cleaning and scraped the rust off. I then sprayed a coat of primer on it and followed up with three or four coats of cherry red spray paint. I went through a couple cans of spray paint to cover it up. It now sits on my deck holding a few plants, although, I think it could be used as a buffet station when we host a barbecue. Here she is after her make-over.
If your reading this...ThAnKs!!!
Make it a great day!

ReplyDeleteI know...I happened to be out walking one afternoon before garbage pick-up and I spotted it. I was so excited to scoop it up.
DeleteI have a bakers rack on my patio that has seen better days. I love the bright color on yours. I'm thinkin' I need to hit up the spray paint aisle. :) Looks great - gotta love side of the road finds!
ReplyDeleteSpray paint is the best....be sure to take a before picture....that's the best when you can see the side by side transformation.
DeleteSo cute! I'd love something like that for my side garden.
