So he let me use the nail gun! That was pretty fun.
Once we got her all cleaned up, it was time to paint. I did the first layer of it this poppy blue. Everyone said "Wow.. that's blue.." like it'd be too much. But I had to reassure that it would only show a little after I was finished.. I couldn't finish the project that night, because we had to let the blue paint dry all the way. So this weekend I finally found the time to finish it. I painted it white all over, and then sanded it. I chose not to sand the flat surfaces much.. just the edges really well. Then I stained it.. left the stained on for a bit and wiped it all off. It was hard wiping the stain off of this project! I'm afraid some sections turned out darker than I had hoped. But overall, I think it turned out great! It'll look fantastic as a shelf above the guest bed! And it was tons of fun having Chase help me do this for one of our date nights :)
Pretty Neat!! I am proud of you and your tool skills :)
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! And it looks *awesome!* Will you take some pics when you place it in your place? I'd love to see what you did with it!
ReplyDeleteYes, I will! I wanted to before I posted this but didn't have the chance.. soon!
