Vintage Corner Shelf Makeover
03 July
This ugly little corner shelf got a much needed makeover recently. Wanna know a little secret? It's plastic!
I picked it up at a garage sale a few weeks ago. It had a $5 price tag on it and as I was looking at it someone came along and marked it down to $4! I still stood looking at it, turning it over, pushing on it to see how sturdy it was... and she marked it down again, this time to $3. SOLD!
Here is what it looked like before.
Whatever company made this little shelf did a great job making the plastic look like real wood!
I used some coral colored spray paint and gave it a quick makeover.
And of course a little distressing was inorder :o)
I put it on the landing of the stairs, I've been trying to find the perfect little piece for this space and I think this does the trick!
Let's take one more look at the before and after shall we?
