Vintage Magazine Rack Makeover
Are you a thrifter? A thrift store hunter? A treasure seeker? If not, I encourage you to think outside of the box in the new year!

Decorating with thrift store finds is an affordable and creative way to decorate you home. Each month I team up with a group of creative ladies to share our latest finds and makeovers with you. Sometimes we use the item as is, maybe we totally change the intended use of the item or give it a fresh look with paint.

Vintage Magazine Rack Makeover.
I love our Habitat for Humanity store. They usually have great vintage items. I scored with this French Country magazine rack. I dusted it with my vacuum and cleaned it thoroughly before painting.
Chateau Grey is one of my favorite Annie Sloan Chalk Paint colors.
I painted the magazine rack with 2 coats of the color. I followed it with 1 coat of clear wax and 1 coat of dark wax.
I am a decorating book junkie. It looks beautiful housing them. Love how it goes with the green in this chest.

I’ve got chairs to match that magazine rack, now I know how they would look painted. I should do it!
Christy,
