Before and After: Ugly Pine Shelf Makes an Amazing Comeback

by on Jan 31, 2011

You know that aisle at Goodwill that has all the cruddy wood knick-knacks made out of pine with that yellow orangey stain? It’s the one that has lots of wood pieces with heart shaped cut outs. Change of policy: Don’t walk by it, stop and hunt for a display shelf. You will not believe what a little TLC did for this dog.

There are some jars and bowls in the shelf.

Pretty, crisp, white, clean with just the perfect dot of turquoise. Suzy at OrchidLaneDecor.com did a number on this one. It took more than a little quick spray painting though. She was able to get this sumptuous white with two undercoats (primer) and three topcoats. Nice save. Check out the shelf on her wall right here.
