Wall Wine Rack

During a yard sale field trip, we found this from a guy on the side of the road. He had the best prices of the day! (I am going to post pictures of all our little treasures in a bit.) So, Nate eyed this not so great hand made wine rack. Someone did an awesome job building this thing but never painted(spray painted) it. It was only $3!!! We figured, why not! If it ends up looking like crap then it is only $3 down the drain.

Okay, now I know she isn't a looker. But can you at least see her potential?

She will hold 3 wine bottles and glasses below. First, I had to vacuum it! It had cobwebs and dust/dirt in the nooks and crannies. The left shelf was loose so I used wood glue and clamp to secure it into place. I then used some wood filler to fill in the seams.

Then I primed her. I ran out of primer so I finished it up with some cheap black spray paint. This is her after coat #1. Nate wanted to paint her instead of spray paint. But since he isn't home...hehehe No, the real reason is because it is made from real wood and when I tried painting real wood with a brush before I had problems going with the grain of the wood. Yes, I know I painted 3 tables but I used a roller. She also isn't a simpole flat surface so I thought spray paint would get into the places I couldn't reach.
This is after coat #2 1/2. I ran out of black spray paint!!!! Didn't I just say you can never have enough black spray paint? I have to respray within 4 hours so I have to run to the store. Why? Because if you wait longer it can cause the paint to buckle and lift. And I am not sanding this biotch...I mean beauty, if I mess it up!
