I had what turned out to be a productive yet make work day. I sanded the coffee table top and put another coat of black on, it was looking good so far but stay tuned. Moving on to dresser, I decided that all the work into it so far why not keep going. To camouflage the dings I went with texture powder added to 2 fun colors, a mint green and my fav turquoise, then more navy then sanded and washed with navy then touched up and more wee bits touched up. This is a hard technique for OCD folks but I kept tweaking. The cleaned hardware seemed to bright so it got sprayed black, yes much better.
Now the coffee table was dry and it looked really good in areas but not in one area so I tried touching up with a black oil pen and more stain but this did not look good and the previous shellac blisters bothered me so it got hauled down and power sanded but no real success as the soft stain gummed up so yet another experiment.. wall sickle to “skim coat” and let to dry.
I had originally thought milk paint on the dresser and found a couple colors in the fridge. Just so happens I was wanting just a small amount of milk paint for a couple projects I prepped in the past. The wood wine box was milk painted 2 whites, sanded then hemp oiled.
Two little boxes I had used extra stain one were milk painted too and then dark waxed.
Britt had the day off of course for Family day and took in the Flames game much to Sheldon’s envy. She and the dogs arrived around 7:30 just as I was finishing up goulash for our supper. We hung out while the dogs played, Lex actually hurt her "arm" while playing and limped for the rest of the night. Prince rolled in after 11 having to clean snow off the car again before he could drive.
