Upcycling for my Friend's Birthday

I saw this picture on http://jonesdesigncompany.com/ and thought.....I have something similar in my basement that I was just going to Craigslist. Picked it up at a yardsale, but it's kelly green and doesn't really go with any of my rooms. However, painted white, is great!


My friend, Lindsey (who is a terrific crafter), was about to have a birthday and she is currently working on her office space, so I figure it would be a good present for her.


Old magnet board

a few coats of Krylon



A few odds and ends, from this and that, to dress it up.

Recovered the magnets

Magnets recovered



So much better in white!

    This is such a great idea. That green went perfectly to white! Good job! I haven't tackled any spray paint projects yet.....no room to do it & a little scared!
