After weeks of craziness and being off schedule, it was nice to have a chance last Monday to hit my fave Thrift Store....I have been on the hunt for a lazy susan.....I remember watching TV in the 1960s (My Three Sons) and watching them at the dinner table using a lazy susan....I have been intrigued ever since.....so, to my surprise I found one on my last thrifting trip for $2.95 and decided to repurpose it to match my decor a bit better.....I loved that it was all wood and well made but the butcher block finish was just not appealing....I headed to Michaels and bought a beautiful shade of nutmeg for .50 cents and a small jar of modge podge with a 50% off coupon for $1.48 so for less than $2.00 in supplies and for a total investment of under $5.00 I have this new beauty.....Step 1, dry painting on the nutmeg paint.....
....step 2, two heavy coats of modge-podge.....
step 3....letting it dry really well....also, remember my cast iron owl that I got thrifting and repainted - he got a coat of modge podge also....
Final step.....isn't she a beauty.....looks great on my mission style dining room table....Chip, Ernie, Rob - your late for dinner!
