frustrated. I run into problems. I run out of time. Such is the case with my front doors. A year and a half ago, I made the decision to paint them and started working on them, but never finished. Thanks to 'encouragement' from my husband and some gorgeous spring weather, I finally buckled down and finished what I started last week. I finally painted the doors in Benjamin Moore's Wythe Blue and got the front of the house finished and ready for spring! #MayProjects #DIY

cabinets I did myself and a tumbled stone back splash my husband and I did together...mostly him :)

heavily distressed look on the baseboard before adding the clear insulators. I'm liking the finished product!

choice. A less than bright white was achieved by mixing colors and a two toned effect was used by using a lighter color on the uppers and a darker on the lowers. The paint was finished off with varnish for a clear coat protection.

Stop by homeroad to see the details.

old board and found a wooden decorative piece in an box of spare parts. The recipe we used was 5TBS. plaster of Paris mixed with 2TBS. water added to 2cups of paint. We got a bit aggressive with the sanding back, I may go lighter next time.

The knobs are end caps salvaged from some metal rods that we had in the basement.

We started with a buffet that had been repaired over its lifetime and was not living up to its potential.

After sanding and painting with homemade chalk paint I hand painted a bee motif using a projector as a guide then we waxed it and married it to a beautiful mirror we had to create a server for our dining room.
