I did a little spray painting on a couple of ongoing things that I am not sure will ever see the light of day. that was disappointing so I decided to regroup.
I sanded the top of my work table, I always think these things will be quick and easy - not. I hand sanded to get the paint and glue off and then used the electric sander to get it smooth. This was a job and took more time than I wanted. I had to go pick up the dog. Back to sanding. I got a coat of polyurethane on the top then put on the first of four coats of purple paint on the legs.
Another layer of spray paint on the first project, not looking too bad.
Back to the printer to pick up the brochures that weren't ready the first time.
Another layer of poly and paint on the table.
Off to the sewing room where I made three pot holders for work and sewed up two children's aprons for my Etsy shop. (SisterSusiesStuff).
Off again to take my daughter in law to the airport then home. Another coat of poly and paint on the table, worked on sprucing up the table lamp for my work table. Started to decoupage flower pictures on a pair of bi-fold doors that are used as a room divider.
The last layers of poly and paint on the table and laid the new rug into place.
I am not at all sure this room will ever be completely done. I want it to be organized and pretty, my mind keeps coming up with new ideas. Several of my friends want to see what I have done but I am sure it is only wonderful to me.
This "Studio" shares space with the laundry, sewing, spare kitchen and storage. It is not huge but it is mine.
I have moved the sewing out of the room into the grandkids old play room and that gives me more craft space. The forty drawer chest came from a feed store/old post office and has its original paint. I struggle with whether to paint it or not. I kind of like the patina but I think it would be great to have it match the rest of the room. These pictures are from when I had just started to transform the room. As I said it is a work in progress.
