I almost forgot to take before shots. And yes. I paint in my bedroom. I have a lot of room in there. What you can't see is I was listening to Pandora, the Downton Abbey station! Did you know there was such a thing? I read about it yesterday. They play the music from the series and other sound tracks similar to it. Very nice! You should check it out!
Anyway, back to the bookcase.
I have to do the shelves today. I only started the whole project around five o'clock yesterday afternoon. Rachel went to work, Sarah went to read a book, Tim and Kyle were gone. So yeah, this is how I roll! I put the first coat on, went and made dinner. Tim, Kyle, Sarah and I ate, then I went and put on the second coat! Easy peasy.
Funny story but true: During the second coat of paint Kyle and Sarah were watching a movie on the tv behind the bookcase. The bookcase and I are both short enough that we didn't get in their way! Ha ha!
I'm not certain yet how I will finish this bookcase. After the clear wax, will I do dark wax in some of the detail areas or not? I'm still pondering it.
More to come....
It looks so nice and fresh! A brand new book case. Did you feel ha you were the star of the show? =D
ReplyDeleteI saw lots of typos...too late!
ReplyDeleteRefinishing furniture is a great idea. We've done quite a bit of that too. Your project looks nice so far!
ReplyDeleteLove the new version of your bookcase. I can't wait to see you paint you bathroom vanity. I have two bathrooms with oak vanities that I have been wanting to paint for the past 10 years. I'm hoping your inspire me to get my courage up to tackle my outdated cabinets.
ReplyDeleteLove that annie sloan paint! I was just explaining it all to my cousin today. I'll be interested to see how you distress it with the dark wax.

ReplyDeleteInstant change! I'm such a fan of white. I didn't know about the Pandora station. Will check that out and pass it along to my daughter in case she doesn't know.
