I like to think I’m pretty handy, but it really needs to a quick and fairly easy task in order for it to get done. I often have grand ideas, but once it begins to get complicated I run into problems with patience & time. I admire all you crafty moms out there that paint your own furniture and do your own window treatments. Maybe one day I will learn how to sew, but it would be solely for the purpose of possibly making (simple) matching dresses for the girls or a party backdrop. Maybe something like this this, how hard could it be?
Anyways, when we transitioned Adeline’s nursery into a “big girl” room we ended up just buying her a full size bed with guard rails. She sleeps like a queen and loves it. Her bed is quite tall though and she often has quite a bit of trouble climbing up. I spotted this Ikea step stool a while back ago, the perfect cost effective solution, but it needed to be white. So I bought a can of white spray paint and tried my hand at spray painting.
Then my dad stopped over and asked about the priming? sanding? Hmmm, probably should have looked these things up first. All things considered, I got the job done, a feeble first attempt but it looks white (for the most part). Yes, I should have primed it and it needs another coat for sure. But for now it’s good enough for me – “distressed” is in, right? Anyways, here is a better method for spray painting furniture, guess I should definitely go with some priming and sealer int the future.
Now, kitchen project #2 – window treatments. I think roman shades…flat, relaxed? white or patterned?? hmm….
