Wow! We haven't written in a long time. Things have been a little crazy because we're adding to the blog headline "A Girl and a Boy..." A remodeler junior is on the way in July!
Okay, moving on to what the blog is supposed to be about. Above are the doors we bought at the salvage yard, Second Use, in South Seattle. They were about $20 - $25, which seemed like a good deal. Their website is great because they include all the products and include an order number, so you can call and reserve your product.
Anyway, the doors were good, but super ugly. We spent an afternoon sanding, filling, and priming. Then two to three coats of high gloss latex white paint. We recommend using a slimmy roller and then back brushing. You definitely want to back brush any time you paint doors, trim, etc. ...anything you want to look smooth. The nap on a roller cover always leaves a little bit of texture. Rollers are great though for slapping on A LOT of paint.
Speaking of paint, we're picking out paint for the bambino's room. Since we're going with a space theme (yeah, we're a little nerdy), we're going to do a light blue on the walls and then a darker blue with white clouds for the ceiling. Glow in the dark paint for the stars! What do you think?
Check out the curtains! That's sewing.....buy a sewing machine and get on it. This is a lot of interior decorating for this blog, but if you can't make your home beautiful on the inside, there's really no point in remodeling to begin with.
