It’s been a while since I’ve posted a quandie quickie. What is it? Just a quick makeover that you can do in no time.
In this case, it’s a fun mid-century magazine rack/drinks table that I updated with a quick spray paint job.
I picked this up at the Blaine garage sales, here it is before its makeover. See it? Down front, on the right.
It was pretty blah as is, but I knew it would pop with a fabulous color.
So I just cleaned it up with some soap and water, let it dry, and then gave it a couple of coats of Rustoleum in Lagoon.
Now it’s the perfect perch for a patio drink and some reading material.
If you start seeing pink elephants after a couple of drinks, then this is the perfect shot glass for you.
This magazine rack would add a fun pop to anyone’s mid-century style patio. It will be available at the Carriage House Sale!
q is for quandie 
Tons of fun! I would not have looked twice at that piece and look at it now. That sale is going to have a little of everything. Hey since it’s looking pretty doubtful I am going to be there given it’s close to a 1800 mile trip. Could you make a video of the before and after for us far flung fans?

I have zero video making skills. I know it can be done on my phone, I made a short video of a sitar player at Disney’s Animal Kingdom … isn’t that random? But I liked the music. Anyway, that is the full extent of my video making so far.

That being said … you have spawned an idea for before & after pictures from the sale. That could be fun to share.

I just check that mileage it’s only 1100 miles approximately 17 hours one way.
Hmmm….

I’ve done that drive a few times. Back in the day when my parents still lived just outside Charlotte. It’s not completely awful, but I’m not a fan of the road trip. When I was younger I could handle it, but not anymore 😉

It looks somuch better painted that color. I would love it if I had a deck or patio or even a front porch.

The downside of apartment living, but at least you never have to mow your lawn or shovel your driveway.

I love a good spray paint job!!! So cute, like Victoria said, would not have gotten a second look from me either. I won’t make the sale, hope it is a great success!

Love this – such a nice, sunny piece…from drab to fab, as I’ve heard somewhere along the line!
