I found this interesting magazine rack at an Estate Sale for $3.00. It was all wood and in good shape - just not too pretty.
So, I cleaned it up and lightly sanded it. I painted it black.
I had this lovely calendar and cut out this floral design from one page of the calendar. The pink and white background is just a piece of scrapbook paper I put behind it so you could see the cut out when I got thru.
I then used Mod Podge and decoupaged the floral print to the front of the magazine rack. I think it turned out really pretty.
I put it beside my dark brown leather recliner but it didn't show up at all. So, I took the finished product out to my "photography studio" and took a picture of it. I think I need to get either a bird's nest with eggs or one of the green moss bunnies to sit on the little front ledge, don't you?
Enjoy!
Judy
Love it...it turned out so pretty!!

That was a lot of intricate cutting, but the end result is worth it! I love the pretty flowers against the black background!
ReplyDeleteOh Judy, it looks so god painted black and I like the pretty flowers on it. Yes, I think the nest and eggs would be really cute with it. Great job!

"That turned out great, Judy. That looks a married piece, don't you think? Like someone had a magazine rack and maybe wanted it taller by a chair so it was easier to get to? I think a little bird's nest on the ledge would be perfect. I LOVE how those flowers pop against the black. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous result with those flowers on the background, you could stop there as it is really beautiful, but yes, a birds nest, even more delightful!
ReplyDeleteJudy I think it looks great. That little ledge will be a great display spot.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a magazine rack on a little stool like we used to have! I love how you painted and mod podged it. Looks awesome and a display would be quite cute.

ReplyDeleteVery pretty Judy. I take pictures of projects too as I feel it gives me a better perspective. I think one of your cute vignettes would be pretty on the ledge.
ReplyDeleteThat is SO pretty, Judy - I love it!
ReplyDeleteJudy, this turned out so cute!
ReplyDeleteMuch better - You did a great job. Took a lot of patience cutting the flowers out.

What a cute little piece, Judy! I've never seen a magazine holder like this one before. I love its new look. I think one of my favorite makeovers was a magazine holder I found at an antique mart that I also painted black and then added some French stencils in white.
