Spice Rack

I made this project for one of my sweet nieces.  I turned an old spice rack into a jewely display.  The before image is not mine.  (I had to borrow it from the internet since my camera was broken at time I started it).  I think it turned out pretty cute.  I just took off the front pieces, painted it, added some hooks for hanging and fabric glued on that beautiful piece of material. Oh, I also painted and added the cute little wood cut out at the top.

My First Blog Ever

So this is my very first blog ever.  I'm so new at it, I don't even have one follower.... Anyway, I'm just excited about how I am turning other peoples JUNK into my treasures as part of my own THERAPY!  Really, I'm just trying to keep from going insane from boredom...

The table below is what I worked on last week.  I'm not finised with all three pieces yet, but at least I've got one down.  My mother found these tables at a yard sale for $60 bucks!!  I know they're not the $3 and $5 dollar pieces some of you find out there, but I still think they were a great find!  They are solid wood and in purrrfect condition.  Just not the finish I wanted for my room.  I did a light sanding on the top with a 220 grade paper and then I stained it using a rag.  I finished off the top with two coats of polyurathane and primered and spray painted the legs a beautiful black.  I think it turned out gorgeous!
