I wanted to show you a redo I did to my Living Room bowl rack. I'm telling you, I have done many things to this bowl rack...it had wire to keep the bowls in...didn't care for that, I strung gourds on the wire to give more depth...didn't care for that, I made a wooden rail in place of the wire...liked that, now I had my daughter's boyfriend create a colonial top for the rack...I'm thinking it looks a tad like a crown but it's staying.
Here it is all ready for me to paint...
I placed it on top of the rack to see if it fit...
I then removed it for painting and stained it to look like it was one piece.
I'm really liking it! He did a great job on it!
So if you have a piece that you want to make look a little more colonial, try creating a "top" and marrying the two pieces. :)
Maybe make yours not look like a crown though..;)

Robyn, I really like what you did with your bowl rack and frame in your bedroom. Great ideas. Beautiful colonial prints.
Hi Robyn, Love what you did with the bowl rack, nice job on the painting looks like you bought it that way. Sometime we just have to think outside the box, always telling myself that. Thanks for sharing your project. Vicky

It looks lovely and fits right in with the whole Colonial feel. I have loved your bowl rack every time I see it in photos. Great job. -Steph-
What a great redo Robyn! It adds so much interest and really makes the rack a focal point for that wall. (And I didn't see "crown" till you said that...And I say, if the crown fits, wear it!) Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin

Very nice Robyn! The finished display looks wonderful! Unfinished, I thought it did resemble a crown but now that it is finished, I think it goes perfectly with the other pieces, looks great!
Wow Robyn, I like the new look! Great job.
