I bought this bamboo etegere a few weeks ago from Vanessa De Vargas for 50 bucks.
With proceeds going toward her latest charity project – Good Shepherd Center for Homeless Women & Children – I not only scored a good deal, but I felt all warm and fuzzy inside because my money was helping those in need.
I skipped the whole sanding thing because that’s just way too laborious for my liking.
I briefly dusted all the cobwebs off of it, wasted no more time and spray painted away.
One can of primer, two days, a trip back to the hardware store, a bit of a high, five and a half spray cans and one blister later, I was done with this bamboo.
