I've had a lot of fun sprucing up old lazy susans. I painted these to look like French grain sacks. Pretty easy, a coat of creamy paint followed by a little distressing . Next I taped off lines and filled in between with red craft paint. Then I add a graphic that I print in reverse onto wax paper, place face side down and rub onto the surface. I finished it off with a couple of coats of acrylic spray.
Here is the before picture,
that I painted to look like an old wine cask.
Often I'm able to find these at thrift stores for only $5 or so.
I think this looks great with my vintage grainsack towel that I use as runner layered with a topper I made out of some French fabric. It actually makes a nice centerpiece that's functional too!
I never thought of painting those lazy susans, not that I could do a plate like those, they are just so beautiful, they look like they are from an expensive store..I love the look...thanks for sharing them...Phyllis
