In my mind, there is nothing more rewarding than taking something old and
worn out and turning it in to something wonderful.
I needed a project to do...so as I perused the aisles of the flea market
last summer, I came across an old bread box. The construction was great but
the finish was tired.
I gave it a quick sanding, a coat of primer and a coat of cream colored
paint then used stencils and a permanent marker to create tiny vines and
roses.
It came out so pretty that I put it up on
Ebay in the kitchen category and sold it for $57.00! It only cost me
$3.99 so that was quite a healthy profit considering the small amount of
time I had in to it.
Flea Markets and thrift stores are filled with wooden shelves, planters,
trays and other items that can easily be re-vamped to become matching sets
of kitchen items for your own home or as a source for extra cash!
