The Anti Paint tutorial blogger

 

A while back, I opened door number 3

and joined the world of DIY painting bloggers, whose work I completely admire.

Truly, I do.


Now granted,

this admiration  usually occurs from afar, while sitting in my chair, my laptop perched in my lap, with the AC

blasting.

As I click on page after page of DIY painted perfection, I am usually mumbling, “…how in the world did

she do that?”.

I am the Anti Paint Tutorial Blogger.



I was part of a DIY team, in my own driveway, (with two of my daughters),

who have become very, very

BOSSY.

Five minutes into our project,

I was quickly demoted to third string painter,

and I was even accused of

“…trying to get out of things,

or skipping important steps in the painting process…”

Well, I never!

My first task was to

apply the primer to a campaign dresser that will

belong to Daughter #3,

once it is painted in a turquoise color called Beach Towel

and its brass fittings are all shiny and gold.

Easily distracted, I wondered if Zinsser makes

under eye concealer.



I am a slinger by trade, and when I complained about the primer, whose directions I did not follow,

I was then told to work on the campaign chest hardware.

This was a very hard job.

The previous owner of said campaign dresser

had spray painted the hardware with black paint.

(Truth be told, I don’t blame them…I feel their pain.)

This job involved dangerous, toxic chemicals,capable of removing layers of paint and skin.

(I did read those instructions.)

Daughter #3 had started this job,

all while I shouted out non-stop, possibly irritating warnings of

“Danger! Be Careful! Wear your gloves!”

I was demoted from this job

when they caught me trying to dip said hardware in my silver cleaning

liquid in the kitchen

(with the AC blasting).

The big reveal follows.

There really is a project plan.  I’ll let you know

when they let me know…

I wonder what my job will be tomorrow?

Here’s my story:  I have painted lots of furniture over the years, but a slinger personality, directions, and multiple steps don’t often mix .

I like it that way.

I hope you enjoyed this crazy White Spray Paint re-post.
