I'm Just Painting Stuff Again

 Pssssssssssst...see that stunning brown Pine Factory stereo stand? Purchased in 1988? Isn't it dreamy?
How about those forest green baskets? You love them, don't you?
Yeah, me neither.
So grab the Rustoleum 2X Gloss White and Satin Aqua.
 Oh, and wash the nasty basket liners. Seriously, don't you people ever clean?
 There's nothing like a fresh coat of paint to bring something back to life.
 I think they're ready for a new, useful life up in our room.
 And paired with the revitalized stereo stand, we have a new chest of drawers for practically free.


Grab an end, would you please? This thing is heavy.

Does This Reflect Well on Us?

 The bedroom project is going well, despite scattered spousal grumbles and resistance.
The man knows he can't stop me if I'm determined.
So some older, dull, dated things made their way onto the lawn Friday and got a light sanding, a coat of Rustoleum Spray Primer, and then 2 light coats of Rustoleum 2X Gloss White. 
Then they got hauled inside because the weather would not cooperate.
Saturday they got a final coat.
 The very top of the cheval mirror got a good smear of Goop, my favorite silicone adhesive. I simply tilted the mirror so that it was horizontal. Don't attempt this vertically or you'll find out why they call it "Goop."
 Apply flat backed marbles, beads, sea glass and shells liberally.
 This is just an accent.


 We're going to let the lines of the piece speak for themselves.
 Allow this to dry completely before you return it to the correct position.
 Remove the tape and newspaper.
 Razor any rough edges.
Okay, let's get this back upstairs and finish the next piece!
