that I really love for a few weeks now, so finally I had to jump in and make my first project.. Let me show you what I did!.
I went over the grooves and the sides first with a good angled brush before rolling.Sounds like a quick little step right?
This probably took the longest of anything, but was totally necessary.I had a couple of good non-disposable angled brushes on hand that I switched out and cleaned up if they started to seem like the paint was drying on them too much.I’ll share my super-easy paint brush cleaning technique with you next week.
Oh, you just wait!.I saved a good 5 minutes per coat with a little technique I called the “beadboard rule of thirds”.
At least that’s what I called it to myself in my head while I was doing it.
I basically only painted one third of each board at a time, rather than trying to make the paint on my brush spread out over as much of the board as possible, I just filled my brush, put a few dabs down the center on just 1/3 of the board, used what was left on the brush to do the edges and then came back to the center.I should be all done sometime around July of 2017.
Stay tuned for that exciting update!.Until then, I’m happy with my little shoe rack.I hunted for awhile to find the perfect baskets for my new bathroom fix-up and I finally found them at our local Superstore (that’s actually the name of a grocery store chain here, for those of you wondering).
They’re actually magazine holders but the tall, narrow shape of them makes them perfect for holding hand towels and hiding lots of junk too.The only problem was that they were a little plain looking all by themselves, so I decided to snaz them up a little bit.. To the recycle bin!
