Hello all! Things are progressing well in my office these past few days. I recently…
When in Doubt, Sand it
Last week I was facing a dresser dilema. The piece I tried glazing ended up looking a little too much like a wild animal and less like the industrial chic I was going for.
Enter my tiger striped dresser. Roar!
The funny part is, I kind of liked it while I was painting it. “Oh yea, this looks good!”
Looking back, it wasn’t coming out so hot. So I had to think of a plan.
Did I try another glaze color? Paint over it all? Live with a wild animal in the house?
My solution? The Dewalt 5-Inch Random-Orbit Sander
It was an interesting mix of silver and white (actually the primer), with a little wood even peeking through. Once I saw this I wanted to make sure it still had the silver look I was going for so I painted on one more coat of the Martha Stewart Precious Metals in tin with about a half glaze mix. It was just the trick.
The tiger had left the building!
Now this was a look I was excited about. And I only have two more steps until it is completed. Fix the broken drawers and add some hardware.
That is a serious pile of projects in the background right? Happy Friday!
