Cautionary Tale about spray paint!

Good morning! It's a beautiful day here in Nebraska. Since I'm an impulsive and fast moving person, I always have cautionary tales. This is my latest. On account of it, I have a new system. I'm keeping the spray paint lids, writing on them with a sharpie the Brand, type, color/finish, and what I used it on. Lots better than keeping 100 cans around...besides, it's hard to find a place to write on with the cans. Oh, I'm sure some of you have actual files or something. Doesn't work for me...too impulsive.


Just so you know, there is a lot of difference between these two paints...and colors. Heirloom white was in my head because I use it a lot so, needed more to change or add to my last project. But, my memory was wrong! See below!




I'd actually used the Painter's touch, yikes!



See the pretty auqua interior? I'd painted that middle divider that color and changed my mind as it looked weird!




I'll finish this job correctly and do another post on how I'm using this little buffet on my deck. Having fun now!

By the way, it was so hard to choose but, below is my favorite post of the week! Awesome! Wish I had a shabby cabinet like she shows in her blog!

  2. I've always liked the natural finish of wood so I might have chosen to refinish the cabinet. Some of the work that I've done has been amazing.

  3. Very creative - I love the inner blue contrast to the outer color - now this is true recycling!

  6. I had to chuckle while reading your post. I could totally relate. I always forget what white or cream color I used on what. I love the aqua interior of the cabinet. It's a nice change from all white. And thanks for visiting my blog & leaving me a comment.

    Thanks so much for your sweet comment about my little guy.....My daughter was 25 when my husband and I met! My daughter does have a dad...but my husband is my guy's PAPA....he calls his other grandpa "my mom's dad"....not too involved, so I'm sooooooo grateful that he has my hubbs....He LOVES him! I'm tellin' ya....if a guy wants to know the way to a gal's heart, it's through her kids/grandkids!!

    Hugs,
    Spence
