Behold, le spice rack before...
Pretty nice random bottles don't you think? No, me neither. Funny thing is that we had all the bottles that matched but for some reason I started putting them aside to clean and freshen up the contents and the rack sort of morphed into this er... ah, 'eclectic' collection.
Exhit A (well, I guess really it's exhibit B) ... old, peeling dirty labels. I mean, not to judge but... eeewh.
A good cleaning of the rack and a few coats of good ol' Oil Rubbed Bronze and we were on our way!
The labels got some major lovin' too as well as all the jars getting a thourough clean and top up.
This was a super fast makeover and I think it makes a BIG impression. It's like a whole new spice rack! How did it look in the end? Well, just check out my rack. (yup, was totally waiting to say that).

After!
Admit it. I have a nice rack.
Here is a closer look at the finish. I love how 'oil rubbed bronze' has that shimmery undertone. Fancy Shmancy.
I have a fancy shmancy rack.
Have you oil rubbed anything lately? Spiced anything up? Made a bad joke about how fancy your rack is? Please tell me I'm not the only one ;).
Aaah...I love organizing and making labels.
ReplyDeleteVery fancy pants! I love the uniform bottles and the dark colour is much better.
ReplyDeleteI made over a knife block that had a similar finish as your "before" rack: http://dans-le-townhouse.blogspot.com/2011/09/diy-chalkboard-knife-block.html
Hey, nice rack! ;)
ReplyDeleteI haven't oil rubbed anything but now I really want to. Maybe my old knife rack. The spice rack is mostly plastic so I don't think that would work.
Nice rack for sure, I just threw mine away cause it looked all nasty and stuff. But who knew you could rack up style & spice to make old new :)
