I love when a trip to the thrift store pays off!\u00a0 And, it sure did a few days ago, when I hit the local Goodwill store in search of something I could use to hang towels on when we’re out by the pool.\u00a0 Low and behold, an old quilt stand proved to be the perfect find.\u00a0 It became a Poolside Towel Rack<\/strong> with very little work, and at very little cost.<\/p>\n

It was just $6.99, and was in fairly decent shape.\u00a0 I just tightened the knobs up a bit, and it became less jiggly.\u00a0 It wasn’t perfect, but I knew it would definitely serve it’s purpose.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Once home, I sanded it very lightly, and then hit it with a turquoise-colored spray paint.\u00a0 I chose Valspar’s Project Perfect paint + primer, and I went with a glossy finish because, even though it says it’s good for “outdoor use,” the higher the sheen, the better it can handle getting wet.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I was glad it was a fast-drying paint because I could hardly wait to put my new Poolside Towel Rack<\/strong> to use.\u00a0 I love the color, and how all it’s little knobs give it personality.\u00a0 It’s also lightweight enough to where I can move it around and place it where ever it is needed.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I didn’t have to think so far out of the box with this project, but I did take a small piece of furniture from indoor to outdoor use. It’s a thrift store find with a brand new purpose.\u00a0 I’m ready to take the plunge with my new Poolside Towel Rack.<\/strong><\/p>\n
