Look at my Rack!

Get your mind out of the gutters!!! ok I had to say it just to be funny... But I am actually talking about the quilt rack I just finished this morning! I am way excited about this one, which thank God for that it took FOREVER! Actually it was just two days but I first had to sand it down, clean it up, wax the parts I wanted to stay unpainted,  paint it turquoise, then pink, then egg shell blue, then streak it with antique white, sand it down to get the weathered look ( still have to put a protective coat over it but ahhh I'll get to it later). Anyway I finished all of these steps and realized I had forgotten to take a before picture! I am soooo mad at myself! So I went in search on the internet for a similar piece, no such luck. I found plenty of pieces in a similar style but not the same color! So I decided to post a pic of a similar color and I figure that in combination with my after pictures should give you an accurate idea of what it was before!
Pretty close to exact color, only mine was a little more worn.
Here are quite a few of the after pictures!




Anyway, hope you get the idea and I hope your Monday is as peaceful as mine has been!
