Now, for those of you who don't know me let me give you a little insight into my mind. I don't do manly work. By manly work I mean lifting, mowing, transporting cargo, shoveling, snow blowing... pretty much anything I don't want to do. Now, I don't think I am too good for it. I am not lazy. I just don't DO it. I married the perfect man that would truly rather I don't but that comes with me being responsible for inside the house stuff. I digress. Anyway, I don't do lifting and taking trash off the side of the road. However, my dad and husband do. I mean this was one hot gem. So I found myself rapidly dialing both of their phone numbers for them to pick it up ASAP! I mean this was going to go fast and I was going to be very angry if it was gone. So of course I told them it wouldn't fit in my SUV. I am still a bit fuzzy on if it would or not but clearly it is WAY too heavy for me even if it would fit ;). So,
So, it sat in the garage for a year, under a bunch of hubby's stuff. I finally made him pull it out for me a couple weeks ago. Remember, I don't do man's work. So he had to put it in the house for me and all ;). I did manage to dust it and wash it but he had to rough it up. He wanted to put an oak top on it but his router died mid project. I insisted I wanted it now anyway. Patience is a virtue yes, but I have never been accused of being super virtuous so phew off the hook on that one.
So on Pinterest you see all of these fabulous projects. I found one with scrapbook paper modge podged to the front of drawers. So I painted it white and tried it. Yeah, not loving the look at a all-
Still determined not to spend a cent I got some brown glaze out of the garage to dim the whiteness. YEah, my son accidentally dropped the entire thing all over the floor! YIKES! So I used left over paint from another project.
I need to touch up a couple of white spots ;) |
So do you know what project that paint is from?!
It is the paint from my cabinet makeover! Remember that? See it here.
