Spicin’ it up

November 24, 2011 by Elaine No Comments

Things are getting spicy over here! Okay, not really but this old spice rack got an update. Not too bad in her ‘day’, but looking a tad wimpy by today’s standards. Who am I kidding, it’s just a spice rack. Standards = none.

Behold, le spice rack before…
Pretty nice random bottles don’t you think?  No, me neither. Funny thing is that we had all the bottles that matched but for some reason I started putting them aside to clean and freshen up the contents and the rack sort of morphed into this er… ah, ‘eclectic’ collection.
Exhit A (well, I guess really it’s exhibit B) … old, peeling dirty labels. I mean, not to judge but… eeewh.
A good cleaning of the rack and a few coats of good ol’ Oil Rubbed Bronze and we were on our way! 
The labels got some major lovin’ too as well as all the jars getting a thourough clean and top up.
This was a super fast makeover and I think it makes a BIG impression. It’s like a whole new spice rack! How did it look in the end? Well, just check out my rack. (yup, was totally waiting to say that).
Before:
After!
Admit it. I have a nice rack.
Here is a closer look at the finish. I love how ‘oil rubbed bronze’ has that shimmery undertone. Fancy Shmancy. 
I have a fancy shmancy rack.
Have you oil rubbed anything lately? Spiced anything up? Made a bad joke about how fancy your rack is? Please tell me I’m not the only one ;).
