When I saw this little set of shelves at the Habitat for Humanity Re-Store, I nearly passed it up because of the color. That barn red just wasn't working for me. But, the little scallops and "polka dots" were definitely calling my name. Hmm... what to do, what to do??
Well, get out the spray paint, of course.
Aaahh . . . the transformative power of spray paint.
It's such a quick & easy way to make your thrift store finds work in your home. Barn red probably looked great in someone else's house, but around here there's a lot of white & yellow & blue.
So, if you're ever hesitating to pick up a thrift store treasure because the color isn't right, think again. A little spray paint may be all that's needed to make it work for you.

Oh my goodness, you did an amazing job of making the red cabinet into the beautiful white cabinet. The blues and yellows against the white is so elegant looking. Your decorations are so pretty!!!
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL TRANSFORMATION!!!
It looks gorgeous! Love the fresh, crips white.
ReplyDeleteThis turned out adorable and I love the little vintage treasures you tucked in.
ReplyDeleteGreat transformation! It is perfect. Is there a particular kind of spray paint that you use? Can't say I've ever tried 'spraying' a wooden project.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing the difference colour makes. It looks wonderful in white and you've decorated it so prettily.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful makeover! And I love how you have accessorized it. Yellows and blues are always fabulous together. Hope you are having a great weekend. Tammy
ReplyDeleteJudy,
ReplyDeleteI used and interior/exterior satin paint for this project. This one is made by Valspar and says on the can "ideal for: wood, metal & more".
