I found this wood lazy susan at Ikea. I think it was $7.99 ish so I bought two! Originally they were a blond oak color. I painted them white and had plans to put them in the pantry. But, they took up more space in the pantry than what each lazy susan could store. And, the kids would spend them around with the pasta boxes flying off the shelf (literally). I added a graphic from The Graphic’s Fairy and decoupaged the print. I sanded it with a palm sander to blend the edges of the print. I didn’t want the dark stain to get lost on the dark counters so I used a pecan stain and alternated between sanding, staining, sanding and standing over the course of a few late nights.
I wasn’t crazy about it until I actually put it on the kitchen counter to store my olive oils and seasonings (to make me look like a {good} cook). It ended up looking like a wine barrel lid I bought on ebay for “a lot more money” a few years ago.
I found my oil jars at Target and the green bottle at the Farmers Market in Denver. I think they look great against the stained wood. I have tried decoupage before without much success. So, I am excited about how this IKEA lazy susan hack turned out.
It does look great! Right out of a Tuscan farmhouse!
This looks really great! We would love for you to come and link up with us at Your Designs This Time! http://elizabethjoandesigns.com/2014/06/designs-time-no-12/

Now I am kicking myself that I didn’t get some of those last time I was there. We have to drive over to ATL from Bham to get to Ikea. Yours does look like an old wine barrel lid — great result.
Stopping by from DIY Showcase link party. This looks great. I love the added graphic, makes it look so rustic. Thanks for sharing!
Such a fun idea, I love the way it turned out!! Thank you so much for sharing with us at Best of the Weekend. Pinned to our party board. 🙂
What a beautiful way to repurpose IKEA lazy susans! I like the idea of having your cooking oils, etc. on a lazy susan rather than a tray or plate (like I have them). Hmmm, just might be making a trip to IKEA 🙂 Found it over at the Flaunt It Friday party!
It turned out very realistic. I love the idea of using it for oils! ~ Maureen
Very cool. I have painted up a number of these Ikea beauties for an art sale that I participate in and they are always popular. Turn tables can be used so many different places I guess. Really like the vintage look though. I will have to remember that. Thanks for sharing this on BeColorful

I really like the look – Wow I never layer like that – maybe I need to start since you got such a great look. It is really pretty and unique. Thanks for sharing your creative inspiration over at Sunday’s Best Par.tay! Following you on Linky – please follow back!
I love the way it turned out! It’s refreshing to see the many coats of paint you used to get the look you want! I love white furniture just as much as the next person, but taking the time to create something so unique such as this makes it a true work of art!
