askye at 06:37pm on 08/05/2005This is from yesterday :
Here's the first bit about my move. Today Mom and I worked on some of the furinture that needs to be painted. Most of it does because it doesn't match anything and has been painted before. Today we worked on one of the dressers - it's been in my Dad's family for awhile in back in the late 60s or early 70s my grandfather "anitqued" it this god awful green.
So today we sanded it, primed it, and put the first coat of black paint on. There will be pictures, right now they are on Mom's camera. Also there's a small kind of plant stand/table thing that I'm going to use for my phone. Mom paid $3 for it at a garage sale. We've primed it and I have to decide what colors to paint it. SInce it's going in the living room it will be brightly colored.
She already touched up the paint on the dining room table and chairs so that's done. One of the short bookshelves we decided had good paint on it. And most of the other stuff is primed and ready to paint. Once I get paint. Tomorrow I think we'll hit Wal Mart and find this craft paint they have that's in small pots and not those tiny little squeeze bottles.
Right now I have primer on my hands, arms, and feet.
Today we worked on more paiting. Final coat on the chest of drawers. Painted the knobs, although I'd really like to replace them with something kind of silver. Silver accesories will be through out the house. I love silver. Also put another coat of gloss black spray paint on the ratan table base -- it has a glass top.
Mom got this great idea for a side table --- it's an old suitcase and a, not a tv tray but like a luggage rack. The suitcase is attached to the rack. We put vintage style travel stickers and are going to replace the straps on the luggage rack with leather belts.
There's also this end table I've had forever. The top is all messed up from where I've put glasses down without coasters and the door doesn't close right. But it's got this great mother of pearl (looking) handle. So Mom and I spray painted it black, with a finish of gloss black and it looks fantastic. Tomorrow or Tuesday I'm going to get this silver paste and then I'll smear parts of that on there.
