I found this old railing and I loved how it looked. I picked it up for $10! I wanted to use it for a quilt that my sisiter made me when I graduated from college. With that said it needed to not damage or stain the quilt. I did a light sand and washed it with the hose and a wet rag but it was still dusty/dirty to the touch. That just not ok. But then it hit me! I could keep the old warn look that I loved and still protect the quilt. All I had to do was cover it with Mod Podge!!! Me and my 10 year old buddy did the work together. We did one good coat over the whole thing and now I can get the look I wanted without the dirt on the quilt! I put a little cork on the bottom that is against the floor and the part the leans against the wall to protect both surfaces. I love how it turned out!!!
