Rubbish Night

Hey Guys!!

You wouldn’t think heavy rubbish collection night would be fun would you?

It is when you go for a drive and have a bit of a pick around!

My wonderful hubby found this old, I suppose you would call it a magazine rack?, out on the street waiting for collection the next day. He said as soon as he saw it he thought I’d love to do something with it so I did!

   

  FIRST I gave it a wash, let it dry, then gave it a light sand to remove any loose rust and dirt.

Next  I chose some beige coloured enamel spray paint which I bought for $3 Aus from a discount store,

(It used 2 tins of beige paint in total.)

    This is after just one coat, I used fairly light coats to save drying time

and the chance of it running.

 

Three coats later and this is how it turned out.

I decided it looked a little too new so I took to it with some sand paper to rough it up a bit and give it a shabby chic feel.

Final product ......

I wasn’t sure waht to do with it at first but then a remembered the kids needed some thing for thair bath toys so…

 A bit of trash and a little inspiration!
