I have been busy painting my bathroom vanity this week. I removed the drawers and cabinet doors and placed them on saw horses in my studioffice to paint. Having the space in this room comes in very handy when trying to paint production line style.
I am taking my time so I get a smooth finish. I have the vanity base painted and the backs of the doors and drawer fronts done. I am hoping to have the vanity done by the end of the week and will share it with you soon.
While the paint is drying, I came up with a plan to make a new headboard for the guest room I call the rustic guest room. My neighbor who is moving and had the woodshop asked me if I wanted any of the aged wood he had. At first I didn’t want it, but then inspiration struck and I took it all.
This morning I am off to Lowes to get more paint. It is project central at my house this week… I hope you have an inspired one.
