This was my very first SUMMER redo project.
Thrown to the curb and disposed of as junk! That certainly is not the way I saw this gem.
Very heavy piece at that, I managed to throw it in the back of my SUV and off I went. I already had a color in mind, and could not wait to get started.
First things, first.
Clean this baby up.
I used a mild dish soap and cloth and wiped it down. The piece had some substantial rusty spots that I lightly sanded. Because the piece was light, I did not feel it needed to be primed.
I have had it for over a year now, and the spray paint job has held up well.
Come take a look for your self.
And TAA DAA……….
Amazing what a little spray paint can do.
And this piece is useful and can display some summer pretties and plants.
That is beautiful. You did a great job!! I love the color!
Have a good week. 🙂
Oh Debbie, I love it. Wow you did transform that piece. Love the yellow with your colorful accessories.
LOVE IT! The yellow was the perfect choice! All of the goodies you added are beautiful!
Enjoy!
XOXO

That's a gorgeous piece, Debbie. You're very talented and creative.
WOW! I can't believe that is the same piece! What a great job! Love the color!!! So bright and cheerful.

Wow, Debbie, the iron shelving unit now looks fantastic spray painted yellow! It's so cheerful and I love how your decorated it!
Debbie- this turned out just gorgeous! I would never have thought of using this color, but it is really perfect! Displays all your great accessories wonderfully!
Looks great! Love your color choice.
That looks really nice! I love the style of it. How pretty it will be all summer.
If I had any creative talents at all your posts would be inspiring! Instead I just have to accept that I am not and admire all you do from afar 🙂
I love this! WOW good job!!!
The yellow is perfect and unexpected too!
SWEET!

Debbie, this turned out awesome!! I LOVE the golden yellow! What a great color! I am so thrilled to see you didn't just repaint it white! That color is perfect! You so rule! LOL
Whoa Nelly!!! That is awesome! I was thinking a little black, but the yellow is unexpected and phenomenal! How cheery to sit out on your deck and see that little bit of summer sunshine. You are just too clever!
Debbie, I absolutely love the painted wrought iron. Who would have thought yellow could be the perfect color? But it's gorgeous — truly a standout. I would love to have you link it on Wednesday to the Boardwalk Bragfest, as well! It's quite an inspirational piece!
That is a great transformation! I love it and the yellow that you used. 🙂
WOW! I love it and I want it!! 🙂

Debbie,
I love, love, love this! The color is BEAUTIFUL! Great job! I'm inspired.
You can't beat that! Nice.
A great piece of rescue and renovation. It glows.
Hi Debbie, i love it!! It looks great where you have it.I wish i could find something like that! I love the color.You did a great job…..Kathy
Wow, what a find. I would have never thought it could look that great. What a cheery yellow color.
Very cute, love the color choice – great eye, seeing that find!!!
That's beautiful, I love the color you chose!
That's the cutest thing Debbie! I love finding things like that. Love the color too, it's definitely you!! We are getting a little green finally with the 80s. We went from 30 to 80 overnight and the poor trees don't know what's going on! Now we're having a drought. I have a lot to do outside now that Easter services are over I can get out…
Stunning! Looks like a page out of Ballard!!
I love that pop of blue against the yellow/orange!
This is what I call a double wow! I love the outcome of this! Beautiful! Be blessed. Cindy
I have to admit that when I saw that first picture of this piece laying on the ground I thought…"What the heck?" You had far more vision about what it COULD be than I did! Lol. It turned out so cute! 🙂
It looks great! Good find and great transformation. I love the yellow and how you accessorized it.
Thanks for stopping by!

I am still in total awe of this project — that you decided to recycle something that looked to be in terrible condition, that you then chose "yellow" (how brave is that?), and that now I want one too!!!!! Great job, actually more than great, really fabulous. That's a wonderful "bragable" and I'm so glad that you shared it at Wednesday Boardwalk Bragfest!!!
You did a fantastic job bringing it back to life!!!
Absolutely can't beat $10 for that! Love the color… so summery!
Get out of town!! Is that the same piece? You did an amazing transformation, that's for sure. It's just perfect for your deck.
Yay for the PoPP, now I get to see my favorite yellow thing-a-ma-bobber. Shelf? Plant stand? Thing-a-ma-bobber. And 62 comments so far, and you still have party members yet to see it – that's how you KNOW you have a winner!!!! Just wanted to drop by again and tell you how much I adore it!
great piece of rod iron, like the paint choice too!
Looks great there on your porch, dressed up with rooster
Holee Molee, you took that rusted thing and made it a fabulous focal point ~! you are Brilliant
Hugs and Happy Thoughts
Sonny
Where did you find that iron treasure? Talk about being at the right spot at the right time! I'm looking forward to more of your posts. I finally had some time to look around on it. I'm still recovering from the picture of the ugly toes you had on a while back 🙂
GREAT find Debbie!!
It looks beautiful against the brick texture of your home!

Happy Friday Follow, and let me tell you some good news. First that's absolutely beautiful how you gave that piece of furniture life. It's gorgeous. Now my hubby bought me one of those about 10 yrs. ago at Hobby Lobby on sale at $75 for my birthday. So, you have a very nice piece there at a really good price. Great job. Following you! Nice to meet you. Have a great weekend. Hope you find time to stop by me.
Wow great job! Found you on Friday Follow and am now following. I hope you'll come stop by and see our story soon at http://www.amundsenhouseofchaos.com/351/

Okay so I totally had a jaw dropping moment when I saw the after. For real….my mouth came open and the sound "ahhhhh" came out. I would never in a million years have picked that yellow color, but holy cow, I am totally looking at color in a new way! Fabulous!
GREAT JOB! so pretty.
found you thru FF!
Have a wonderful weekend.

I love the color. What a great job! Thanks for participating in Friday Follow. Rita @ One 2 Try.
You have truly inspired me to look at old wrought iron with new eyes (and imagination!) Absolutely gorgeous transformation.
Thanks everyone for the awesome kindness and compliments on this ever so easy project, that you too can do….just go buy your favorite color and spray away…I am looking for more things to paint and sand this week:)
This looks sooooo good. I love the color!
i found a plastic bird cage at a thrift sale last year, it was a dull gold, I thought I would paint it, seeing your shelf, I could rethink it, or get it a little brighter. And now to think what I want to do with it? lots of ideas. jo sunnyside.
I love the yellow color–I think it is going to be hot this year! Thanks so much for linking up!
I love this color and your lovely rack. I just bought this same color for a buck a can!! I bought new seat covers for my wicker chairs and they have this shade in it is I am planning on repainting some of my garden things. Thanks for the inspiration!!
Debbie
This caught my eye when I was looking at missmustardseed's fff. Great job Debbie!
Hiya Debs! I'm on the hunt for something just like that for my patio. I'm gonna keep that awesome color in mind!! Thanks for the colorful inspiration.!
xoxo,
Kim
This is amazing! The color is gorgeous and looks stunning on your patio! Would love to have you stop by The Sunday Showcase Party if you get a chance. Hope you are enjoying your weekend! Love this! ~ Stephanie Lynn
I love the color you chose. What a whimsical piece!!!
That is an awesome piece and the color makes it even better. What a great buy for $10! Good for you.
Amazing redo! I love the color!
Absolutely, positively GORGEOUS! And the yellow is fabulous. I hope you win!!
I’ve been looking for one of these outdoor baker’s racks to put out on our patio/breezeway, and I passed up a bargain for $25 at habitat Resale store last year and I could kick myself a zillion times for not buying it. I am going to ask my daughter to show me how to go on Free Cycle or Craig’s list for this item, but in our nearby area. Keeping my eyes open at yard sales too.
I made a notation of that Kryon Barhouse Gold..I love that color..really makes a smashing effect and so bright.
Thanks for sharing this with your fans/followers.
Have any good outdoor decorating ideas for July 4th?
