these cheerful before & afters come from rachel at heart of light. i love the way she’s used paint to bring new life to simple, thrift-store finds: a worn-out mirror and set of ordinary salt and pepper shakers. inspired by another reader’s before & after on d*s, rachel decided to create a message center with her inexpensive frame by painting it a sunshine yellow and adding a chalkboard. voila! instant usability! rachel’s shakers were inspired by a pepper mill from anthropologie and i think they mimic the more expensive look nicely. well-applied paint always gives things such a nice face lift. thanks for sharing, rachel!
