Trashtastic Tuesday- Freshening Up A Bamboo Stand

Welcome back to Trashtastic Tuesday! It has been a while since I have done a post for this series, but today, I am back baby! I probably won’t be posting to this series every single week, but hopefully a couple of times a month. Today’s Trashtastic item is a little bamboo stand that my husband brought with him when he moved. It was gross and old, but I said I can paint that! that was over 7 years ago! It was hidden under my bathroom counter for several years where nobody could see it. But after we moved I have been using it in my daughter’s bathroom to store washcloths and bath mats. I finally could not stand to look at it another day and painted that sucker white! LC ~~asked me if I planned to paint everything in our house white~~ loved it! Beware of the ugly linoleum in the following pictures. It is on the schedule to be updated!

This is what it looks like now after a few coats of high gloss white spray paint.

If I wanted it to look really glossy I could have kept spraying on more coats, but at this point you could barely see the darker stain under it and I thought it gave it a nice distressed look. so I kept it that way.

I think it is so much better! For very minimal effort. And left over spray paint from a previous project, so zero dollars.

This is that same little corner before paint. The print on the wall is something I made myself.

And after paint.

I don’t know about you, but that is what I call trashtastic! This little stand is something that I could have easily tossed, but a little spray paint freshened it right up. And it is much needed storage in my daughter’s tiny little bathroom.

Catch you later!
