I'm so pumped to share this with you because I'm so
I'm also
Now let me rate this project first.
I'd have to say on a scale of 1-10, 10 being I have my own show on HGTV, my home improvement skills are somewhere around a 7 or so. I'm fairly handy...just saying.
I couldn't do plumbing or electrical to save my life, but I did go to school for interior design, I watch HGTV like nobody's business, and I've done a number of projects with family and friends (primarily my Dad).
I'd have to rate this project a 2 in regards to difficulty.
And it's also a two day project. Not that it takes two days to complete but there's some dry time.
So I know I'm killing you with the suspense...here we go..drum roll please!
How ya like them apples?!
I'm so in love with the end result.
So how did I get to the end result you ask?
Excellent question.
I sanded the ever-living shit out of it. Using medium grit sandpaper and a weeks worth of motivation. It took a lot longer than I anticipated simply due to all the small details in the piece.
I dusted off the table with a dry paper towel to remove all the debris and then followed up with a lightly dampened paper towel.
Now from here I would normally use a primer. Primer is good for more than one reason, it helps the coats on top of it adhere to whatever you're painting and helps eliminate the need for more coats.
I however did not have primer on hand so I did two coats waiting a day in between. And had I had a small roller on hand I likely would have rolled all the flat surfaces to avoid seeing brush strokes. But to be honest they really aren't the noticeable. I'm also thinking about replacing the hardware, but for now I will sit back and love it.
For 5 bucks and a couple hours of my time...I'm so so happy with the outcome!
Now tell me, whaddaya think?!
