Spice rack...Bock bock bock

Ive mentioned before in my Crazy rooster post down below about my crazy kitchen colors scheme with little hints of poultry

well I found this little beauty at Goodwill!

$4 Bocks lol I'll be here all night!

I didnt even think of what I would do with it

I took it to my parents house because it needed a bit of mending

(nail guns are fun!)

Then my daddy with all his creativity said it would make a great spice rack!

So I was even more excited about this little random Coup/coop(?)

So ofcourse I did not approve of the color and Spray painted it with Rustoleum
there'snothing to special about this project only that it was fun! 
And its always fun to find different things and make them neato!

Heres the finished project and when I've hung it up I will show it in all its glory!
I may be antiquing it I will post if i do!

Here are some fun creative Spice rack ideas I found in google image search

FUN!

SO SO SO CUTE

CLASSY

HAHAHAHAHA

Barstool make over! Like totally!

My sweet mom in law gave me these really neat bar-stools (thank you mom!)

So of course I saw a new blank canvas and went to town 

Items needed

Bar-stool 

Spray paint 

I heart Rustoleum ultra cover wood, metal and plastic it seriously rocks! 

Tape 

Sissors

Newspaper

YOUR BEAUTIFUL MIND for creativity

1. Cover the seats with newspaper

2.Spray paint upside down barstool

dry a bit

3.then spray barstool right side up

4.remove newspaper and pray the parts the may have been covered up

I think plastic wrap would have been easier over the newspaper to protect the seat

5.apply coats as you see fit

I only did one because the Spray paint i purchased is so awesome!

leave as is! 

or 

6. tape a design on the seat or use a pretty stencil

I used tape! 

Now I wanted one design to be symetrical and clean cut- Here's a half checkered board

 

and the other to bit a bit sloppy-  here's my messy Chevron pattern

7.Spray Paint directly above and try not to angle it 

as to not get any on the legs if its a different color

8.DRY BABY DRY!

9.Remove tape! this is so thrilling....I know I need to get out more

Showing off my nail polish! ooooo sparkly

WOW! you have the coolest barstools on the block!

See I got a bit of blue on the seat but its still NEAT!

 

I suggest getting a mask the fumes from the paint are so icky I was holding my breath then running away to breath lol

great work out ,but im getting a mask! =)

Finally the older gentlemen asked what I planned to do..  I explained I was making a magnetic  scrabble board I could also use has wall decor they all pretty much thought I was the most interesting woman in the world... Stay thirsty my friends =D

Cock a doodle- doo

I have this crazy contemporary color pallet in my head.

The colors are  as follows:

Turqiose

Lime Green 

Grey

black

white

Coral/pink

I splash of purple

I wanted a chicken to go above my kitchen cabinets.

I started my search at a couple different goodwill stores, dollar stores, garden ridge, ect.

Nothing.. No cluck cluck

Now this chicken wasn't going to be like other chickens. It could look like other chickens,but remember my color pallet. I'm not going for the traditional farm colors So I planed on spray painting the poultry turquoise.

Then My wonderful Sister in-law suggested Ross

 She happened to be going and invited me to come. I declined, it was a busy day and my kiddos needed to have some mommy cuddle time. The Next day she showed me a picture of this chicken that was actually a rooster, but I didn't care whatev!! This crazy  rooster had all of my colors! So I raced over there early morning  Low and behold (like it was a surprise, it's kind of an oddball piece and was waiting for a crazy lady like me to pick it up) It was there on the shelf! So thank you sister in- law you rock!  I will have to save spray painting figurines for another time.

Here it is!
Cock a doodle doo! 

He's poseing with my daughters "tea party rocks"

Once again My choice in decor has left my Hubby scratching his head.

 Side note- we are in the middle of new constructions so he doesn't see my decor plan as I do... poor guy he's missing out =P and I know he will love it once its all in place.

The moral of this post is to stick with your ideas and decor dreams because you never know when you'll find that beautiful or bizarre  piece you were looking for.
The treasure hint is the funnest part...even with screaming children in the cart =/ 
LOL

Kooky Rooster cost $13.99 at Ross
I dont know if I saved money but my original plan was
A chicken $ ?.??
Spray paint $3.78 ish
