Craft Journal: NEW old shelves




My sister in law and mother in law gave me these old shelves that they weren't using anymore. They were a very light wood color that was nice but not quite me. I love the worn rustic look and these didn't have it. I went and bought some dark interior paint, some vintage white interior paint, and some CRACKLE solution. Lowe's will have an instruction pamphlet. Roller paint the dark, dry, sponge brush the crackle solution, dry, and roller paint the white. It immediately starts to crack the paint. When it was dry I sanded the corners for a more weathered look. So easy and they look incredible! Cost of paint and crackle $30, paint supplies $10. New old shelves just for $40. Comment your questions. ENJOY!
