I’ve had these wooden salt and pepper shakers for a good 20 plus years. They’ve been around longer than Mr. Manly Man and were looking a little sad. They had a few scratches and were worn so I decided they needed a little facelift of the paint kind.
I started by sanding them down and then gave them two coats of some gorgeous red paint. I put toothpicks in the holes of the salt shakers to keep the paint from plugging them. After the paint dried overnight I did a light layer of wax. I think they look great!
