Red Tricycle Shelf with Hardware Cloth
Everything looks better with chicken wire or hardware cloth...
A simple thrift store wooden shelf that had seen better days gets a coat of Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint in Tricycle Red.
The shelf was then given a coat of Miss Mustard Seed's Tough Coat giving the red a rich satin protective coating. This satin sealer is great for most paints and gives the piece a great finish.
Chicken wire, or in this case Hardware Cloth, is stapled to the back giving the shelf a whole new look.
Mini clothespins can be used to attach tags, photos, notes to the hardware cloth for a beautiful farmhouse look.
A new life for an old cast off that will look great in an office or kitchen.

DeleteLove the color, and the addition of the hardware cloth. I've been wanting to get some. I got 2 rolls of chicken wire free over the last few years and still have plenty left.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea - I'm loving the chicken wire lately too.
