"M" is for Magazine Rack

Paint: magazine rack makeover

My neighbor had your basic wooden magazine rack just waiting for some paint:

All cleaned up and I added a handpainted single letter monogram on both ends:

The edges are distressed and stained:

Here's how I madeover the magazine rack:

1. Sand entire piece and apply wood filler to any imperfections.

Here you can see some missing buttons:

2. Using 5/16" wood buttons:

3. Glue new buttons into missing holes:

4. Prime with spray primer:

5. Paint with Rustoleum heirloom white satin finish:

6. Distress with sandpaper:

7. Print out letter using Monogram KK font, 450 point.

Line up in place and trace letter using ballpoint pen:

8. Paint on and inside indent left behind by pen:

(At least two coats.)

9. Stain with Minwax Special Walnut:

10. Seal with spray poly semi-gloss:
