What Forest You Lot Do? & A Skilful Aureate Spray Paint

How does Dominicus eve ever larn hither together with therefore fast?  No thing how groovy my intentions are, I'm ever sitting downward around 9:30 on Dominicus eve to write Mon morning's post.  Anyway, yesteryear the fourth dimension you lot read this, Happy Mon Morning! 

I started a projection over the weekend that I remove your assistance with.  I bought this light on clearance at Marshall's a few years agone (while nosotros were out on a engagement for Valentine's Day...gotta dear a hubby who waits for you lot spell you lot shop!) .  I dear it except it had a white washed glaze on it that I wasn't likewise crazy about.  

All I could intend virtually was making it into something similar this:

Pottery Barn

Doesn't the variety hold back similar to the 1 inward the middle?  I stripped the complete off of the light together with got it downward to bare wood.

Now, I'm non certain how to complete it off.  Does it remove a low-cal stain?  A coat of lemon oil?  Poly? Clear wax? Dark wax?  I simply desire that rustic, natural look. If anyone has ever done a projection amongst raw wood, I'd dear whatsoever suggestions!

In other news, a few weeks agone I constitute this groovy niggling mirrored tray on clearance at Kirklands, but the forest cut down was silver.  I knew it would move together with therefore much meliorate inward my infinite if it were gold, together with therefore afterward a quick taping chore I dug out some gilded spray paint.  I grabbed a tin that I've had for AGES, together with simply came across it a spell dorsum when I cleaned out my pigment stash.  

Just wanted to allow you lot know that it's a groovy color!  Usually, Rustoleum's Metallic Gold or Metallic Brass is my go-to gilded spray paint, but this 1 is likely a novel favorite.  It's simply a warm gilded amongst a tiny hint of sparkle.  The build is Design Master together with tin endure purchased at Michaels.  

I'll exit you lot today amongst a photograph that makes me happy.  

This is AFTER I cleaned out together with organized my pigment stash (where I constitute that gilded pigment I had forgotten about!).  I can't tell you lot how proficient it is to become out inward the garage together with know precisely where whatever I'm looking for is, together with to know precisely what I have!  I'm certain that at that topographic point are together with therefore many multiples of the same color because I didn't know what I already had, together with therefore I simply kept buying to a greater extent than rather than excavation around.  Not anymore!  And, I'm happy to tell that it has stayed similar that for several months.  Major accomplishment!  

Enjoy your day!
