Sister Swap Saturday ~~~Guest Post~~~

Both Freckles & Fun and Thrift Store Rock Star have been CRAZY BUSY so we're guest posting today!!

Here is a great post from my big sister @ Thrift Store Rock Star

 

 

Remember last weekends used furniture store find?

Checkout the makeover!

Here is how it happened
1. I removed the legs and used a hammer to crack off the gold plastic from the legs.

2. Popped off the back panels and removed the shelf.

3. To paint the legs I taped off the coasters.  

4.  Poked holes in an old box  to give me a 360 angle for painting.

5. I painted everything with a can of Krylon Fusion 'the no-prep super bond paint' in black gloss.  The great thing about this paint is it requires no sanding & no priming!

6. I decided I wanted something fun for the back panels.  I picked up some butterfly fabric for $1 a yard at Wal-mart a few weeks ago.  I also had some Elmers Craft Bond Spray Adhesive on hand.  

7. I sprayed the panels with a good coat of the adhesive and then applied the fabric, adjusting as needed.

Let me know what you think.  I think it turned out pretty cute - now time to figure out which room will get to enjoy it.
