Yard Sale Beauty |
I got this tv stand thingy for $10 at a yard sale,and it is SOLID. That bugger weighs like 800 pounds. well, perhaps not quite that much, I can't give an accurate assessment because I cannot lift it on my own at all!
So I decided this would be perfect for my daughter's room. Splash some paint on it and life would be great, but then...pinterest happened.
So did you know you can tape off a chevron design without a whole lot of trouble? It's just measuring all 4 sides and making equal marks across the parallel ones, then cutting off the excess tape.

So then we painted
and painted
and painted
and painted
Woohoo! Now the backboard is done! That was a lot of work :(
Here's the drawers! and the kid to whom this color explosion will belong.
and the drawer handles!
Um, apparently I didn't get a finished shot of those, though they need a coat of clear nail polish on them still.
and here's where I am currently stuck.
It's too heavy to bring inside by myself! I need several more coats of the blue and pink, the removable shelf is orange, but I'm pondering what color the sides and fronting parts should be. I like the idea of blue because it only takes 2 coats of paint instead of 5 lol, but I might go with the purple that is in the skinny stripes. She doesn't want black or white. And I can't get working on it till Monday. *sigh*

But umm...her TV doesn't fit on it. *sigh*
