A journal sharing our renovation projects, faith, ups, downs and anything else we feel like talking about
I painted my dining room today…finally! I have been talking about it for quite some time now. Since April to be exact. I guess the pressure of the summer ending and school about to start, finally motivated me to break out the rollers and wipe the gathering dust off of the paint cans bought back in May. I [...]
2 cans of Anchor Gray Paint (test board in the background) 4 5×7 rugs (put together with seam tape) Seam tape Dining chair covers Tree branch and bird decal for the wall (not sure what to do with this just yet) From my previous post, I told you about the garage sale I had to [...]
