Wine Rack Makeover

In my quest to renovate my home, I decided I would paint our wine rack cabinet that we have had for over 12 years.  It is currently sitting in our hallway and is a lovely macrocarpa piece.  Unfortunately it didn't fit with my vision for the hallway.

Colour of choice - Annie Sloan Old Ochre with clear wax.   

Before - side view

After

The before photo's aren't very good, and neither are the after ones to be honest.  As you can see I painted the piece directly in my hallway using pieces of 4x2 and an old sheet.  Fortunately my hallway spans nearly 2 metres, so there's plenty of space to get past.  

The reason for painting the piece directly in my hallway is so that the temperature is high enough for the paint to dry quickly meaning I can finish the piece quicker in this weather.  I'm impatient like that.

This is a new colour I'm trying which is a creamy colour.  It goes so well in the hallway because where the piece is sitting needed some "light".  The new wine rack has provided that light now.

Happy learning peeps!
