It's DONE!

I finally finished it! Seriously, after 7 coats of red paint, then 3 coats of red spray paint, YES, I have finally done the spray paint thing on a big piece of furniture and I LOVE spray paint! I have only used it before on small pieces, but I was sick of painting coat after coat of brushing it on, so I did the spray paint and I finished it! Whoo hoo! So add glaze and a top coat, and it's DONE!!! I finally got my brother who was visiting and Stephen to haul it inside and I really like it. Stephen is not too much of a lover of it, but I really do like it. I store the board games in the big one. I need to stop putting stuff on top of all the furniture in my house, but I have so many picture frames and the holes in my wall are not getting any less. The pieces of wood in the black shadow frame are pieces of floorboard of the gymnasium that my Grandpa Beck was a janitor of while he attended college at Albion Normal School. We took a tour of the condemned building a few summers ago. It was fun to hear his stories. I'm glad that I picked up those pieces of wood, even if the rest of my family thought I was crazy for carrying around old pieces of wood.

I also finished an ivory colored table and Paisley's rocking chair that my Grandma picked up at an auction for her a few years back. Maybe if she ever gets her own room I can repaint it a fun color, but I had to have it match somewhere where she actually uses it now. Spray paint is so much faster, I gotta figure out the drips though, guess I should just brush it away, but sometimes I spray and walk away and then come back and it has drips, but I still love it and once you've spray painted, you may NEVER go back to painting with a brush!!! small table: craigslist, $15I now have an old rocker and a quilt rack sitting in my makeshift "painting area" of the garage. I can't stop searching craigslist for furniture with lots of detail even though I don't have anymore room...
