Still not real sure how we ended up in the “mess” we did today – totally blame the long weekend! Bo texted around 10 to see what we were up to. My reply, “Kids are making Valentine’s cards and I’m refinishing the bathroom cabinets.” Yep – TOTALLY unplanned. It was a day where I just needed a project and the one I want to do cost $ – so we went the free route. I had some paint left from a project this summer and after inspecting the label – and finding “wood” was in the description – it was on.
The funny thing is the kids totally could have gone to school today – they were open. But, I felt like I hadn’t seen them since we were gone this weekend – so they stayed home with me. Good thing too – because Crawford was a HUGE help.
We took the drawers and cabinets off. He (and Con for brief spurts) helped sand and wash them. While the napped…I got busy painting. I skipped the priming part and was VERY nervous when they were still tacky to the touch after 2 hours. But after a second coat – coverage is great and I’m (fingers crossed) hoping that after a full night they’ll be dry. I’ll post pics of our finished project soon!
