Metamorphosis Monday

Welcome to Metamorphosis Monday. To participate or to see other Metamorphosis Monday posts, head on over to Susan's. Thank you Susan for being our hostess each week.

We've had a Baker's rack for over 25 years that was handed down to us from my husband's grandmother. It spent 4-5 years in the kitchen of our first house we owned, it moved with us to our second home, it spent some time at my mom's house, and now we've had it on our patio for about 10 years. It's sturdy and very well made, it just needed some updating.

This is how the rack has looked for the last 25 years. We gave it a fresh coat of white paint when we got it 25 years ago. The white paint has held up great even though it's been outside for years.


Two summers ago we finally bought a new patio set and I always thought the Baker's rack would look good painted to match. We've had a few days of nice weather lately so hubby sanded, painted, and bought new glass for the 4 shelves. Here's what the Baker's rack looks like now...



Of course we couldn't match up the paint color exactly, but it's sure close enough. It's amazing what a little bit of paint can do!
