Wooden Spice Rack Upcycle

In case you don't remember, here is the spice rack I bought recently, and this is what it originally looked like:




These are the materials that I used: craft paint ('bright red', 'ocean breeze', and a white for the base coat), a paint brush, a brown fine tipped pen, and some stick-on labels from the wedding section of Michael's. I started by covering everything in white. Then I painted the outside red, and added blue to the inside of the drawers. I hand-drew the names on the labels, based on a font called Archer. I'm debating whether or not to paint the bottom of the shelves blue to tie it together, and I have yet to put on a sealer, to keep the paint from chipping (I'll probably go with Mod Podge—it's great to use as long as you don't mind brush strokes. Otherwise, use a spray on like Shellac.)
