Projects

Here is the latest project I completed over the weekend. 

I am happy with how it turned out. 

I discovered several things about myself during this project:

a. I do not wish to refinish furniture

b. I do not wish to paint for a living

c. It is way too hot to be doing a project outside right now

d. Doing projects with a baby are not that practical or fun for either of us

e. I was able to push myself to complete it, even though I wanted to quit halfway through

f. Oil based paints do not come off very easily

g. If you have a dog that sheds a lot, and you're doing a project on "her" porch, you will have dog hair in your paint. No matter how hard you try not to.

h. I do love projects though...      (when they're completed)

cabinet - $15 at an estate sale

sandpaper, primer, paint - $63

hardware - $38

new cabinet = $116

I don't know if the end product is worth the money I put in it, but I did learn some valuable lessons about myself (see points above).
