One item that needed some TLC was a $3.00 thrift store lazy Susan.
She's a big girl, 20 inches across.
Rather than thrift this back to the store for someone else to give it new decor, I decided to update it myself for the November Thrift Store Decor Team makeovers.
The lazy Susan may look familiar to you from the first re-do I gave it.
It's a big, heavy thing, and notice in the before picture the top used to be flat. Brawn cut some nice grooves in it, and I added old handles from the garage.
But that was then and this is now.
A couple coats of Fusion Mineral Paint in a white called Picket Fence, and the transformation began.
I decided simple was best, based on how my kitchen table makeover was shaping up.
I used a stencil from Donna at Funky Junk Interiors, you can get yours here - she has some new ones coming out for the holiday season so stop back often to check.
Stencils are easy and this one was quick on this thrift store find.
I opted to use Fusion Chocolate Brown for the letters, and in under a minute my graphic was on top of my re-done lazy Susan.
The simpler design and color work better on my kitchen table, even before I started the re-don't.
I've gotta figure out where I went wrong with the table redo, so while I'm working on that, I hope you'll make your way around to the other thrifty bloggers to see what they've created this month for Thrift Store Decor.

ReplyDeleteI love that lazy susan.....now. I had to go back and read again. I saw the grooves....which is the cool part...and said "wait a minute, there weren't any grooves in that thing". Great hubby you have there.

ReplyDeleteThat looks soo fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWow! I never would've guessed that the sign used to be a basic lazy susan. I love the texture you gave it and the new color and lettering.
