Bakers rack saved from certain death!

So maybe that's a bit dramatic! But I did find this Bakers Rack sitting at the dumpster at our apartments...

I didn't get the greatest before pic, but it was a pretty basic black metal bakers rack with a wood shelf. It looked like it had been attacked with yellow spray paint. It was pretty ugly. But nothing a $5 can of spray paint and some stencils couldn't fix!! I taped off the shelf and spray painted the metal with a silver 'hammered' look paint. It took 2 coats to really cover up some of that yellow! 

    Then after it dried I set off to beautify the shelf! I recently got new curtains for the living room, which are actually shower curtains but that's not the point. Lol. They have a really pretty floral pattern and I love the colors. So I figured why not make the rack match! Here are the new curtains, AKA my inspiration! 

I used a sample size of a cream colored paint I had and some stencils I got for $4 at AC Moore. The stencils definitely took some patience, a trait I am not known for! But the end result was worth it!

After it was completely dry, I lightly sanded it and did 2 coats of polycyclic to protect it. My new bakers rack is gorgeous and cost me less than $10 in supplies!
