A while ago I saw an idea on pinterest to turn an old spice rack into a rack for nail polish - brilliant, right? So for about eight months whenever I went thrifting I looked for an old spice rack. FINALLY I found one! When we were at my parents' house over Christmas, we took it apart, sanded it, and painted it. (This was a joint effort of my sister Kristin and her husband Matt, Caleb, and myself. But honestly Caleb did most of the work.) I am so happy with how it turned out!
To make your own nail polish rack, you will need:
- a spice rack (I got mine for $2.50 at Goodwill)
- sand paper
- primer
- spray paint
Hello ugly spice rack!
Sand the entire spice rack.
Spray on primer & spray paint, following directions on cans.
And try not to stand as awkwardly as I am.
Finished product!
Sherri, this looks so good!!! And I think it's impossible not to stand awkwardly when you're spray painting!
ReplyDeleteWow the comparison is night and day!!! The new results are awesome! Such a good job!

ReplyDeleteLook at you! Amazing work...I need you to come to my place and liven up some old pieces!
ReplyDeleteUm... you should see how I stand/squat when I spray paint. Love how this turned out. That is one of those amazing before and after photos :) I'm going to pin this!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Love how it turned out!! I like you awkward stance for spray painting! ;)
ReplyDeleteOh that is a great idea but unfortunately I don't have that much nail polish. But I could use it for my cork collection :D

ReplyDeletewow, that is awesome! i am tucking this idea away for future use.
ReplyDeleteWow Sherri! This looks great; I want one now too hehe
ReplyDeleteAwesome job! It's just like they have in the nail salons. Legit!
ReplyDeleteHow cool! This turned out fabulous! Have you ever seen those cool things that you attach to the top of a spray paint can that has a handle for spraying? They are really cool!
ReplyDeleteI'am seriously loving this!!! I'm a nail polish junkie!!
ReplyDeleteThis came out great!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea, it looks great! I only have two colors of polish so it's not so necessary for me :)
ReplyDeleteThat is such a cute idea! Did you hang it in your bathroom?
ReplyDeleteLaura - I actually hung it in my closet because for some reason my walk-in closet is bigger than our bathroom!
ReplyDeleteWow, at first I didn't even think the after was the same rack as the before pic! I really, really need to do this.
ReplyDeleteThis looks great! Standing awkwardly while spray painting is the only way to get it done right!
ReplyDeleteFabulous!!!! I am now on the lookout for a similar shelf while thrifting/yard sale-ing. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's so cute! I need to find myself an old spice rack pronto.
