A friend of mine picked up this quilt rack for me a while back, thinking I could paint and fix it up. Now I'm all for the "distressed" look and I love the whole blue-turquoise color family, but this is too much for even me! (and this was not photoshopped for effect!)
This is after I took it apart and brought it into the house. Mind you, this is not milk paint that "flakes" off naturally. This is a latex paint over wood (with no primer). Not to be disparaging... but it needs a little TLC!
The more I looked at the pieces... the more a picture came to my mind. Looks like an arrow to me!
And this is one side after a fresh coat of ASCP in Provence over the original finish. None of the holes were plugged when it was fully assembled- just the countersunk screws. So I just added some wooden plugs and painted them to match. A little original vinyl work and it's done!
The other side I gave a lighter coat of Provence to and distressed it pretty heavily to get down to the wood added some hooks and called it a day.
I was left with 5 pieces of flat wood (the rungs, I guess you'd call them) and turned them into these:
We call that 7 for the price of one! What a deal, what a steal!
