Dreaming Of A White...

PLATE RACK!?!

Yes, I was dreaming of a white plate rack that was wa-a-a-a-y past being finished.











You may remember this poor soul from last February.  It was a rescue from  The Saddest Thrift Tossing.

















It had extensive water damage to the back.

After sitting in the sun for weeks with weights on the back, it still refused to straighten itself out.












Surgery was required.

The back was successfully removed.

I gave it several coats of my gloopy paint mixture in off-white.

Then stuck it in a corner for months.





Finally I pulled it out, sanded it down, and gave it a coat of MinWax Mission Oak.

I drove it over to the antique mall, put it in a cart, and promptly sold it before it arrived at the booth.

Thanks, K!

She will be dreaming of her white plate rack all season long!

See y'all!

  7. Love the plate rack redo! Isn't it funny how sometimes the projects we are least motivated to do are the ones that sell right away?!
