So Long Spoon Rack....Hello Key Rack

Earlier today I posted that I was giving a spoon rack a makeover. Here are the details....First I cleaned and sanded this poor old thing...




Then I primed it using Krylon Indoor/Outdoor white primer (dries in 10 minutes....sweet!)




After that I painted it with Krylon Indoor/Outdoor Gloss White paint. Finally I replaced those kitschy spoons with antique skeleton keys.




That old brass tack at the top was replaced with a keyhole thingy that was from some scrapbooking stuff I found and honestly didn't know what I was going to do with it when I first found it. Lookin' good, huh?








Ok....now I have the primer and the paint finished, but this baby has to cure a bit before I can offer it for sale on the site. Don't want any of the awesome black tissue paper we use for packaging sticking to it. ;)

When this recycled key rack is ready, I'll definitely be putting a link to the listing up!

Spoon Rack Makeover

I'm sure many of you have seen these. The spoon rack. My grandma had one, my aunt had one, my mom had one, but I sure as heck don't....until now, that is. This one is nasty, dirty, dusty, and even came with a few deceased ladybugs. I'm going to give this baby a makeover though, and when it's all done it'll no longer be a spoon rack. That's just a hint. ;) Stay tuned......more pics and details to come!
