This was an old merchandise rack(I think) heavy duty with metal mess bottom and I knew it had to be a flower planter. Guess how much it was, give up? $6 !!!

Up-cycling in the Garden
The majority of what I up-cycle is furniture but occasionally I find that one random thing that screams at me "BRING ME HOME AND MAKE ME BEAUTIFUL!!!"

A Case of Mistaken Identity
I got this umm well I think its a vanity but it looked like it used to just be a dresser long long ago. I thought it was to me neither those things, so off with the mirror. I found a shelf that fit perfectly and an architectural topper piece that went on in place of the mirror. The color I chose was Behr scallion and sanded to let the black show through then put a hand rubbed wax finish and poof! Now its a country cottage chic hutch.

Yes I have decided to name this piece of furniture, no I have not gone crazy she just looked like she needed a sophisticated name. She was an out of place orphan stuck on a farm and needed desperately to me rescued. I used Behr juniper ash and lotus leaf.

I see your true colors shining through...
O' shiny plastic wood I can't help but paint you and hope that your true colors don't come through. Even though I try really hard you avoid it I couldn't turn down a $40 hutch. Behr paint with primer does magic on slick surfaces and just about anything really I tease my kids all the time "if they hold still long enough they'll get painted too". ( the colors are behr atmospheric and stonewashed)
