Expanding Wine Rack

Pier One to Pottery Barn Trunk Makeover

A client brought in this Pier One trunk/coffee table to be painted. They wanted the finished product to be in the style of Pottery Barn furniture. The result was just what they envisioned. Now this updated, custom painted trunk/coffee table is ready to go back home and give them years of service.

Calling all wine connoisseurs, here is the perfect one of a kind vintage wine rack for you!

Solid wood with brass accents holding 10 of the finest bottles of vino, it has been updated in a beautiful rich teal color. First step was to scrub it up well.

I chose Krylon Sea Glass Finish spray paint in aqua, yes this paint is meant for use on glass but I wanted a stain like finish on this dark stained wood.

The spray paint worked perfect. Apply more light coats in a well ventilated area (I do it in our barn) turning the piece as you go to get all sides. I used one can for this project.

Then let it dry

The brass rivets were wiped with mineral spirits to bring back the brass shine. The edges were also distressed using a sanding sponge, then black wax rubbed on to add more dimension.

And this one of a kind piece is complete!
