Short and Sweet
I’m popping in here to show you a little project I just finished – you can find similar “before” pieces around and about as people often sell these at garage sales and second hand shops. Most people think that if you want to upgrade you must get rid of the old and buy new. Not true.
Here is a BEFORE picture of her when she was just plain “Rachel”:
Simple Update – Big Change
What mediocre piece do you have that you gave a new name?

It looks so much better with the darker finish! The paint you chose gives it a classier and more modern look–I love it!
Thanks! There are so many bakers racks being tossed aside for the newer more trendy ones.
Love the bakers rack, all of them. But now I have a fixed income and can’t redo my 50s small kitchen. Make do to still rotate the stock. Love your ideas.
Back when we were so tight financially, we just changed things a little at a time. We also looked for what we wanted at garage sales, discount places etc. Set your goals. Look until you find what you need. Be patient. Keep going. We are tenacious when it comes to finding what we want/need. You can too.
I picked up a baker’s rack from marketplace for $20 on 5-15-24 one shelf was missing my hubby had all the wood we needed to replace all three shelves. I’m planning on putting it outside so I’m going to weather treat all the wood and we recently repainted the deck so we also have exterior paint. Looks like I’m going to paint all the metal in two tone colors. Probably beach tones. All I will be out in money is under $20 😊 Yours is amazing looking
Thanks!
Looks great! How many cans of spray paint did you need/use for this project?
I don’t remember, but at least 10 🙂
