Progress

Hi! I've been working in the garage again today.  Made some more progress on my little cabinet. I finally painted the main body and had planned to prime the 2 bottom drawers, but the putty I put in to plug the holes of the old handles had sunk in so when I sanded, there were some indents going on.  Not the look I was going for.  So, I had to dig out the putty and begin again.
The paint I used was from a very small bottle of sample paint I bought a while back for 50 cents. What a deal! Anyway, I wasn't sure there would be enough in that tiny bottle to paint the whole thing, and I'm still not sure, but so far it looks pretty good.

Isn't it cute? I just love those legs! The color is pretty subtle,  but it's actually a sage green. I had thought of doing a bit of antiquing but no, I think not.  Anyway, It's actually been a fun project and I'm really excited to get it done and start a new one.




In this 2nd picture, you can see the shelf I made to take the place of the 2 small drawers. It's all primed, but I want to make sure I have enough paint for the drawers before I paint the shelf area. I may have to use cream for that if I don't have enough. Either that of I may go crazy and use a sort of chartreuse and really jazz it up. What do you think?




I'll try to keep this up and write again tomorrow. I have a stool I've been working on that is pretty much done.  It still needs a coat of varnish to protect it. Not sure that it might end up outside for the summer.


Thanks for reading! Love you.
