More Thrift Shop Makeovers and Coat Hooks & Grain Sack Stripes

February 08, 2016
 This was my first thrift shop makeover of the week.  A maple stain wooden magazine rack.




The MAKEOVER and how I did it:

1.  I painted the magazine rack with Fusion Mineral Paint in Algonquin.  (Seriously, I only needed one coat and no waxing, priming or topcoats.)
2.  I purchased a two pack of chalkboard tags from Target's Dollar Spot.
3.  I stenciled the Fleur De Lis and "1812" from Andy Skinner Decoart French Stencil.
4.  I waxed the chalkboard stencil with clear wax to protect it.



Thrift shop makeover two started with this dark brown stained shelf.


The MAKEOVER and how I did it:

1.  I painted the shelf with two coats of Decoart Chalky Finish Paint in "Lace".
2.  I stenciled on a black grain sack stripe with Old Sign Stencils Hot Cocoa stencil extra.
3.  I distressed the shelf with 100 grit sandpaper on the edges and 220 on the inside areas.
4.  I waxed the piece with Americana Decor creamy white wax.
5.  I purchased a some value wood 1" x 4"'s from Menards and painted a matching wall hook board.
6.  I added 3 sale hooks from Menards in a nickel finiah.
7.  I added two sawtooth hangers to the backs of the both the shelf and hook board.




Other projects I completed this week with more value boards, Old Sign Stencils, hooks and Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in "Country Gray".

Happy Upcycling and Repurposing this week, everyone!

*I received complimentary stencils from Old Sign Stencils, and Fusion Mineral Paint.  Any opinions expressed about the products are my own.
