    get terra cotta pots (you could paint the bottom or the rim of the pots white) with yellow/white/salmon color flowers in a grouping of odd number (3, 5) and have them "stair stepped" in groups. A painted bench and small table would be cute, too. Can' wait to see pictures..

Painting: What paint to use on unfinished pine cabinet for rustic look?

I bought a pre-loved glass & pine china cabinet with a drawer base that had never had a finish and is paint ready, doesn't even need sanding. I want to do a somewhat rustic look in a cream color. I was thinking of a milk or chalk paint so it doesn't end up with a plastic look from todays acrylic latex paints. Can't find online from Home Depot or Michaels. (Anyone know of a store near Spokane, WA?)Where do I find these paints and how to use them? Thanks!

    Unsanded grout sticks better but while it is dry it is toxic and can cause breathing problems. ...»
    It is only toxic while floating in the air when dry so don't let a big cloud of it jump into the air where you can inhale it. I guess what I'm trying to say is just get it wet and settled so it's not floating around. :)
