Farmhouse Plate Rack
I purchased this sweet plate rack at a yard sale about a year ago. Poor thing has been sitting in my workroom waiting for me to give it some love.
When I shop at yard sales I intentionally look for items that are broken but have good bones. This solid wood plate rack is a good example of what I search for. As you can see it is missing a dowel. A missing part doesn't bother me. I can replace it or leave it as is like I did here.
Did you know that paint is my best friend? Well metaphorically speaking.
For this project, I applied three coats of latex paint called Cream Silk by Benjamin Moore. For the dowels I used one coat of Refreshing; it is a chalky finish made by Americana Decor. I am in love with this color!!
BEFORE
After the paint dried, I distressed the wood, then added burlap to the back.
I clipped a few hydrangeas, placed them in a basket and hung them next to two French tea towels.
I purchased the tea towels from my favorite online shop Decor Steals.
