Our office area is coming together. Now I just need to decide on what to do with the wall to the left: chalkboard, peg board, cork board, or some mix?
Pretty much the space IKEA and Container Store built. I'm looking for something a bit more industrial looking to replace hanging kitchen table light.
The kids and I spray painted our rusting outdoor furniture. We went for tie-dye.
Myths of Home Improvement #1 - You can reuse paint brushes.
Reality - You can spend hours rinsing out each $16 dollar top end brush and you will still end up with a brush more like a tiny straw broom with the flexibility of a metal garden trowel. Come to Jesus and accept the fact that your crappy painting job could have paid for your child's first year at University.
Here are a few after shots.
Moving in day. I managed to paint the middle floor before our furniture was delivered.
The bottom floor den still a work in progress.
We finally moved into our new town home in the DC area! Yeah!
After project I've Got the Loan and You have the Home so Why the F Can't We Just Trade and Be Done with it? we've started project Load Garbage Bags Full of Money and Give it to Home Depot and Ikea in Exchange for Some Cans of Paint and Furniture Made Out of Balsam Wood.
Before shots:
Living room and kitchen before painting but after floors refinished. Note the dark green on the kitchen walls...it took three coats of paint to bring it out of the mid 90's.
Downstairs den and hallway. Not bad, but needed some color.
