The linky party is still open. Just scroll down to the next post!
It has been a super cold winter but yesterday was 50 degrees! So I took advantage of the warm weather an attempted some painting projects. Not all of them required the warmer weather though. I did some touch ups on the baseboards and molding and I painted this box from IKEA. When I bought it I thought it was unfinished wood. But when I went to stain it, I found out there was some kind of top coat. So I used gel stain. Then I painted it the same color as the walls in my kitchen. I waited for 24hours so the paint could cure and then I used a fine grit sand paper to make it look old. I love it! My kitchen is one (tiny) step closer to being done :)
That is so cute!!
ReplyDeleteAwes yay! And I always find that with Ikea stuff! Weird!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so much more "solid" this way. I want one!
ReplyDeleteVERY CUTE...
ReplyDeleteLucky! I haven't been able to spray paint outside in ages. It turned out super cute! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI just love that paint color. It looks awesome. It hasn't warmed up here at all...I miss spray painting. I can't wait until spring. I am hosting a blog party. The link opens up tonight at 8pm EST. I hope you will stop by and join in the fun.
