my day is blue in color and woes

Progress in the work shop today. The coffee table received another coat of the blue and left to dry

 this is the issue of the last part of the jar last night, now dry you can see how different it really is

The nightstand was now dry so a coat of wax was next in the order, such a smooth product to use too. It went on very fast and now needs to dry 2 hours minimum. The resist product does not seem to be working well but that is ok as I was liking the variegated look better so I guess sometimes things work out.

such a cute marketing and tin and it stirs up so smooth

the wax deepens the colors and gives a pretty shine, see the variegation?

but upon putting drawers in I was not liking the drawer insides even after scrubbed so well, time for paint a pretty green

There was a short rain shower before I was off to town to pick up what I thought was a children's table and chair set. However once I arrived for pickup it was an antique regular size that needs a ton of work ;( Oh well, I managed to load it myself and get on with a few errands, grabbing lunch and heading back to the ranch. I had taken the trash so stopped to grab mail and toss it and low and behold there was another dresser in the furniture dumpster ;) This load had a kind helper, thanks.

Back at the ranch, the sun was peeking out just a bit and not for long but enough time to head out and check the horse salt, put up a few fallen rails and grab Sheldon's better drill as his old one that I got stinks ;/ (oh and the cats followed me out yesterday and today so stopped to feed them, Britt did you forget them too??) Back with the power drill I now got busy installing new hardware, how I love power tools. And even without the right counter sink drill bit, I managed to free hand another go get the screws to reach.

It seems I made a mistake finishing up the last of the milk paint on the edges as it really created chippiness. This is a huge part of milk paint, it does what it wants! And for not wanting chippy I should have used the bonding agent ;(

 chipping then sanded to reveal ;/

 The fog rolled in around 5 as the sun was setting, brrr. I had put a pot of turkey bones on before leaving for town and with groceries picked up I created another yummy batch of soup.

The drawers were touched up again inside and body buffed and will dry overnight before last step. The coffee table was sanded again and a new batch of paint made with bonding agent to go around the edges. Applied and left to dry I sure hope this works and wont have to sand it all off and start again. My day has had some paint struggles but tomorrow is a new day!
