DIY Nautical Oar

Sharing is caring!

I’ve got a DIY Nautical Oar to share with you for this month’s Thrift Store makeover. I found a Lake House Oar a couple of years ago. I was a great deal, so I scooped it up. I figured with a little paint I could update the oar to fit into our beachy, coastal home.

DIY Coastal Oar

I loved the colors of the oar… a pretty teal and blue combo, distressed. I figured I keep with the same colors since they’d work in our family room… I just needed to get rid of the “Lake House.”

Here’s what I started with.

Cute, right… we just are beach people, so time to get rid of the Lake House.

Coastal Oar Supply List:

{affiliate links provided for your convenience}

  • thrift store oar
  • Prussian Blue paint
  • paint brush
  • painter’s tape

Coastal Oar Directions

I gave the oar a good cleaning with just a wet paper towel. Then I used painter’s tape to tape off the area that I wanted to have painted.

Painting over the Lake House sign on a wooden oar.

It took 3 coats to cover the wording. I let the paint dry about 30 minutes between coats.

I put it up on the thrift store gallery wall that I’ve been working on in the family room.

Here are some of the other projects from that wall:

  • Thrift Store Clock | An Easy Paint DIY
  • Life is Sweet Wood Pineapple
  • Family Sign
  • Thrift Store DIY Anchor Home Decor

    Love the new look of the oar – I’m also a firm believer that not EVERYTHING needs to have a stenciled label on it, LOL, so I much prefer the new look. 😉

    I saw a bunch of wooden oars at HomeGoods the other day, but they were all really odd colors (probably why they made it to HomeGoods). I never once thought to paint them! I’m going to run back and see if they still have any – thanks for the idea!
