how i do

so . . .  i thought i'd show you how i paint furniture.

i don't do it the right way.

if you want to learn the right way to paint...head over to young house love & get yourself educated.
they do a wonderful job and have a bazillion tutorials.

i however, do not have the attention span for long, drawn out processes.
i like immediate results, so that's how i paint.
the only time i've painted something the right way was when i painted my dining room table. 
i knew it would get used mulitple times a day, so i needed to do it right.

but everything else i paint is usually on the spur of the moment, during naptime, as quickly as my little hands can go.

i didn't want to sand and i didn't want to haul our ent. center outside, so i got paint & primer in one.

it's a little more expensive but it covers well & saves me valuable time.

i scooched {that's the technical term} a flattened cardboard box under the piece to protect the carpet.
finley and i watched let's make a deal while i painted.

i don't take the doors off.
wanna make something of it?
i often don't paint the inside of the doors.....this time i did.

i painted 2 coats.

aj likes to take pictures of me while i'm doing projects.
i was just touching up a scratch here....

 

note to self, get rid of that shirt. 

i've been wearing flowy {read: frumpy} shirts lately...what with my blossoming figure and all.

i can see this one is not doing me any favors. 

i look like a teal marshmallow.

so there you go.
