Project #1: Several years ago my mom bought this old birdcage/display but nothing was done to refinish it and it sat in the garage rusting for a couple years. Last spring I took it out, totally sanded it down by hand, and added a rust preventing base paint to keep it from rusting more until I decided what to paint it. I always thought it would be cool redone and a few months ago I finally brought it over to the house and painted it. It’s now in my future office room being used to display some of my library.
Before and after sanding. That was a rough job scouring off all that rust!
I finally repainted it a pewter color and it looks fabulous!
Project #2: I bought this little folding table at a thrift store in the sale bin for $6. It was horribly ugly but it was a cute style and sturdy. I knew it could be repainted and with a little elbow grease look great!
Someone did a crap job spray painting this table. It was gaudy gold painted over bright yellow. It wasn’t primed so it was peeling off showing yellow all over. Blech!
I lightly sanded the table, spray primed it, and used leftover Benjamin Moore Navajo White paint. I then added a clear protective top coat to keep it from being damaged.
Voila!
Have a bright day!
