I have discovered how much I love to take something old and unsightly
and make it look new and beautiful. What a thrill! Oh, what a little paint can do!
I'll never forget the old army green dresser that my parents stripped, sanded,
and refinished. It turned out so beautiful! I was so inspired!
With that said, I was beyond excited when I found this idea online.
I got to enjoy the thrill of the thrift store hunt. My goal was to find
and old painting with a sturdy canvas. Preferably a painting that was
damaged anyway, and collecting dust on the shelf because no one
wanted it. Thrift stores are full of those!
I found this one. It wasn't in very good condition and it was just the right size
as well as just the right price. Ya Gotta love thrift stores!
I began by removing the canvas from the frame. I sanded the canvas, as well
as the frame, with 220 grit sandpaper, and wiped it with tack cloth.
Then I set up shop in my back yard and spray painted them both.
This was a very easy project and the results are so rewarding!
