Yay! My first blog!!!! I have been wanting to start a blog for sometime but, with 2 boys both under 2, needless to say I am one busy lady :) I have recently fallen in love with our local Goodwill. We were in need of a microwave stand due do ours falling to pieces. Literally. It was ugly anyways ;) So, off to Goodwill I went. I found this sad little stand there it was only 16 bucks BUT it was a 50% off day!! SCORE!
It was a sad little stand. Water damage, the sliding thingies for the drawer were broke,(yes, I just said thingies) and there was duct tape damage all over the front and top. Luckily, I am a seasoned painter. Well, I like to think I am :) I had left over paint and sand paper from an earlier project so the total cost of this makeover was only $8.00!!! It took about an hour to sand it down to raw wood. Then I whiped it down with denatured alcohol to remove and possible wax or furniture polish that might have still been on there. (Paint won't stick to it!) I used Behr Primer and Paint in Pure Clean White. One coat of primer actually covered it pretty well!
You'll have to excuse my son Parker. He never misses out on a picture ;) After 3 coats of paint I let it sit for 24 hours for the paint to cure completly. I think it turned out amazing! It really brightens up our kitchen! AND i love the extra storage under it!
And theres Parker again! I also removed a piece of wood along bottom. The water damage was just too severe to salvage it. There ya have it! A great Goodwill find it I do say so myself! I am so excited about this blog! I love sharing my ideas and looking at others amazing ideas also! Hope everyone loves this piece as much as I do :) I am currently working with mason jars....my drug of choice. Seriously. I.Am.Addicted. But, that post if coming this weekend :)
