A Spotty Weekend.

Our living room is virtually empty after Craig’s Listers came and bought our old furniture.

I have spent the last two weekends working on a pair of  DIY Rast dressers for the living room.  After buying a cart full of paint and primer at the Depot, it was time to get started.

See that little Spray Grip in the cart?  Best $2.95 I ever spent.  Last weekend was all about priming.

Every.  Little.  Piece.
This weekend, I froze my a$$ off painting them in the garage.  I hope it wasn’t all in vein.  Due to the cold temperatures, I am afraid the paint job is a little spotty. They still need a few more coats, but I either need to wait until it warms up or get an industrial space heater.  The paint should dry clear and smooth in warmer temperatures.  Keeping my fingers crossed on that one.

In happier news, I received my agate magnets that were on backorder since Christmas.  I can’t wait to show you all what I have in store for them!

    Hi Hannah! I have used all but 1 can of primer and two cans of spray paint… That being said, I have moved onto an oil-based polyurethane which gives me MUCH better results. Learn form my mistakes!

    Hey Krista, question — did you use ALL of those spray paint cans for the dressers? Or did you have paint leftover? How many cans like 6? And how much did that cost?
