Thrifted Coffee Grinder Makeover

August 09, 2023

I found this vintage coffee grinder at our local thrift shop last week for $3.00.  It's vintage, but like 1970's vintage, and I don't like the look.

Scroll on down to see the coffee grinder makeover and 8 other makeovers from the Thrift Store Decor Team. This month's projects include a scale, a mannequin head, Halloween Art, botanical print mats, wicker baskets, a key cabinet, and glass bottles.

My coffee grinder project was inspired by this vintage French toleware grinder found on Etsy HERE.

I sprayed the grinder with Krud Kutter Cleaner/Degreaser, and washed it with hot soapy Dawn Dish Detergent and a rag.

I set the grinder on newspaper outside on the lawn.

I used Painters Touch Flat Black Spray Paint to paint the grinder.

When the grinder was dry, I lightly distressed it with 220 grit sandpaper on the edges.

I added a Tim Holtz Factory Tag with a couple of small nails.

I really like how my black coffee grinder turned out!
