I picked up this little gem at DI last week. When I bought it I had no idea what to use if for and originally was going to take out the shelves until I thought about turning it into my spice rack! My old spice layout was really disorganized and I ended up re-buying a few spices due to not seeing I had them already.
I started by taking to door off and giving it a nice all around sand
Then I added the first coat of grey
After a few coats and letting it dry over night I began to sand it
I usually get to excited to let it dry a full 12 hours and end up not achieving a good sand due to tacky paint. This little beauty sanded like a champ when I let it actually dry. Who'da thunk?!
Finally I loaded up the shelves and put it on my counter.
I just Love the way it looks in my kitchen! I'm still thinking about lining the shelves or back drop with fabric or scrap booking paper. Either way I love my $6.00 Shabby Chic spice rack!
Really cool spice cabinet! Can you make all that at work?! Love all your crafty posts! I wish I had time to make all those cute things!
ReplyDeleteThat really is a great idea; it's so easy to lose track of spices!
