Are you a bread box fan? If so do you use it for bread or to store other goodies you want hidden in the kitchen like vitamins, mail or for charging your electronic devices?
This old roll top bread box below had seen allot of wear and tear but in the end it is ready to be of service in style.
And look, he has a slide out cutting board bonus.
The first step as always is a deep cleaning everywhere. I like to use Simple
Green cleaner with a damp cloth rinsed and repeat till everything shines.
The cutting board was power sanded after cleaning to lessen the marks then cleaned again.
The inside is a thinner wood piece that was glued with Titebond
glue along the front edge and clamped.
I tested the color of choice on the roll top portion but before painting primer was painted on the edges for a layer of color under it as well as to seal all the edges.
When it was all dry, the edges were sanded to distress to the white and wood for a rustic charm feel. I was reusing old orbital sandpaper over a sanding
sponge but suggest using the sanding sponge alone for a smooth removal of the paint. The rest of the bread box was sanded smooth too.
A coat of white wax was hand rubbed over it all to to add some white in the nooks and crannies and add to the rustic farmhouse look.
For the final touch I like to add new removable
drawer liner to the bread boxes. This gives the box a fresh fun look inside and makes clean up a breeze.
