Giving an unrecognizable look to an old wood rack




BEFORE
This is a 25 YEARS old horizontal wood rack, it also used to have sliding glass doors which were removed later on .We have been using it for multiple purposes in our house in the beginning it was a kitchen rack later on we placed stuff toys in it but as you can see time has been leaving its aging scars on it giving it a very old and shabby look, so a few days ago i decided to bring a revolution in its boring life :)




We removed the middle panel and instead of a horizontal position we stood the rack up vertically , divided the middle panel into three parts and placed them at an equal distance in the frame of the rack thus dividing it into 4 equal chambers .




Then filled up the gaps and the irregular surfaces with a filling material prepared by mixing equal quantities of chalk powder with wood glue .




Painted the whole rack in chocolate brown shade .......and .....tadaaa.... i present you a 25 years old "brand new" book rack ;)...hope u like it .
