Before & After Thrift Store Shelf Makeover

I picked up another shelf from the thrift store recently, I think it was around $4-5?  If you follow me on Snapchat, I always show what I come home from the thrift store with, but I forgot this price, so dont yell at me if I am mistaken and you have Snapchat proof!
So, the before:
I assume it is meant as a record stand given the racks, but, I already have an awesome record stand from my last thrift store shelf,  so thought it would be perfect for magazines and some plants. Like my last shelf makeover, I simply went with spray paint.  The metal was not rusted so much that I needed a rust reformer (or maybe I was being lazy) but all I used for each piece was primer and spray paint mix.
!function(d,s,id){var e, p = /^http:/.test(d.location) ? ‘http’ : ‘https’;if(!d.getElementById(id)) {e = d.createElement(s);e.id = id;e.src = p + ‘://’ + ‘widgets.rewardstyle.com’ + ‘/js/shopthepost.js’;d.body.appendChild(e);}if(typeof window.__stp === ‘object’) if(d.readyState === ‘complete’) {window.__stp.init();}}(document, ‘script’, ‘shopthepost-script’);

For the wood, I went with a glossy white.  The metal, I wanted a shiny copper/rose gold look and used this one. (Thanks Molly for the rec!)
Again, I use my husband as the final opinion.  He hated it when I brought it in (as usual, like wtf when will he give me a chance? 😉 and now he loves it (I put it in the bathroom to hold all his Phoenix Home & Garden magazines, haha, true story, but bathroom has terrible lighting so no photo of it) 
Something I look for in a thrift store makeover for these little pieces is I carefully check if it can easily be taken apart, this only had a couple screws and was simple to take apart so I could spray paint the pieces different colors without adding a ton of painter’s tape.
