When the college kid brought home this hall tree from a friend's storage unit,
I knew a quick makeover could update it.

It probably had some type of tray in the bottom for umbrellas, but that was missing and there was a piece of plywood on the bottom. I removed the front spindles with a jigsaw to get rid of the cage look and to gain access to the bottom shelf.
I painted the hall tree with one lovely coat of Fusion Mineral Paint in Azure--ONE coat y'all!

I added pallet wood boards to the bottom shelf, placing them on top of the plywood and on the top covering the holes. I painted them a variety of bright colors and then sanded quite a bit of it off. I stained them with Minwax's Early American. I painted and stained them before attaching them with screws from the underside.

I also replaced the broken hooks with two new hooks.

This is one of those easy makeovers and I love the pop of color it adds to an entryway.
Totally love it! You have a magic touch. If furniture makeovers was a category on AGT, you'd get the golden buzzer!
