Get up and get moving.. the milk paint company replied to my query of plugging and sputtering in the paint sprayer at 6 am, seems it needed straining ;( Diego wanted out by 7..yet yesterday not till noon WTH! And today is Britt's slow start Thursday too, guess just my unlucky day! So coffee and get going. The milk paint really crackled on the coffee table so I was researching how to seal then glaze without disrupting much.
I sanded up the chair and magazine rack then put a coat of sealer on the chair. I also painted up the wooden shoe shine kit, distressed and waxed it up too. The trunk got more filler added seeing it had to dry from the veneer issue and not getting the buttermilk color after all.
Later in the day I waxed the magazine rack and put 2nd coat of oil on the chair. It seems buttermilk turns a tinge of green when oil or dark wax on it, dang it! Not sure I am loving it at all but to late to turn back now, will let all dry and decide then if repainting.
The growth ruler order needed a start and after cut and sanded the other day I stain 2 dark and 1 white. I forgot I had white stain so will do it up and show the clients (OK 2 are Mom's ;) if they like it and may do other 3 that or do cream as requested.
I put a coat of poly over the crackle milk paint with fingers crossed and while all dried I went outside. Time to remove Pepper's bandage, he seems a bit better, fingers crossed; fed Julio, let other 2 out to mow lawn, checked cat food, tried cinnamon in the one area of flower beds the cats keep digging in even after putting cayenne there and it was only minutes before one dug around in it!! then walked the dogs. Did I mention pick up my front mat from out on the lawn and other goodies? ;) It was warm 19 but windy day out there!
I buffed up the shoe shine kit and snapped a few pictures, tagged and added to inventory. Time for a quick trip to town to get the dark wax I needed, as well I grabbed an antique white for the trunk and some more seeds for the garden, along with mail on the way in. An Ice cap was refreshing as I restocked beverages, grabbed some supper, filled with petro and picked up more soup bones from a kind lady before heading home.
Big excitement for me, I was chosen as a
Cece Caldwell paint ambassador. This means hey send me product and I use on projects and advertise for them. I loved Cece in the past, I have heard the formula has changed but I hope it is just as good, I have a one year contract, cant wait to get my goody box.
Once I ate, it was accounting as month end then I was back in the garage. These projects need time to cure a wee bit before hauling down and displaying so the rush is on. I dark waxed the magazine rack with the new dark wax and highly disappointed. I sanded it smooth and will see about my usual wax tomorrow. The coffee table got a good dark waxing and it looks good. The toe caps got first few coats of ORB spray paint.
Britt got home from work just before 10 and went to town washing pots and pans and cleaning 3 bathrooms in hopes of hosting a baseball campfire tomorrow evening, guess we will see. Time to paint a couple 2' boards with remainder of milk paint then scrub up sprayer and all the brushes before coming in and calling it a paint day!
