The explosion of kitchen items into every room of the house for safe keeping/storage started to make me feel anxious. I function best with order and little mess so that environment wasn't great for me. Or Oscar. So we packed our bags and moved on out. (I joke that it was much like <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6C7oqXewyCE" target="_blank">this IKEA commercial</a>.... <em>start the car!!!)</em><br /><br />Aubrey comes up at night to visit us and we wait with great anticipation at the door. (4) Thankfully Oscar is really familiar with my Mom's house so it not a <em>huge</em> transition but the nighttime routine has been <em>really</em> hard. :( A lot of crying. Yay.<br /><br />Demolition of the kitchen began today (2)  - my brother had the day off work so headed over to the house to help Aubrey take down the plaster walls and ceiling ... and plumbing. (Thanks Pete!) Since I'm not there at the house it's a little hard to document via pictures, so I'm replying on Aubrey to be the record keeper. My Mom, Oscar and I drove down to take a quick visit to see how it was going (3) and it's looking good! <br /><br />Anyhow, just a little update via pictures. xo Linds

Painting Furniture? Don't Make These Mistakes

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/ad351/2painters/DSC00007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/ad351/2painters/DSC00007.jpg" width="430" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: small;">An old rolling cart gets a new life. This versatile piece of furniture<br />could work as a portable nightstand, an end table, or a dry bar. </span></i></td></tr></tbody></table>You’ll find a gazillion tutorials all over blogland for painting furniture. I don’t want to repeat all the good advice that is out there.<br /><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">So, I’m giving you my favorite pointers, based on mistakes I have seen inexperienced painters make when they tackle a DIY furniture repaint.  </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Common Mistake  #1:  Not planning ahead.</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Make a projection.</b> Have a general  idea of the amount of time you’ll need to take the project from start to finish.<br /><br />Will it be a one-day affair, or do you need to let paint dry between coats (always a good idea)?  Will you have to stop mid-painting to pick up your children or start dinner?  Will you have to move the project out of the way before it’s dry? </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Schedule it right</b>. Pick the right times; look for the perfect window.<br /><br />Are the weather and other environmental conditions just right? Painting outdoors on a very hot day means your paint will dry too fast, so that keeping a wet edge will be difficult or impossible. You’ll have lap marks and a rough surface.<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/ad351/2painters/IMG_2955.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="515" src="http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/ad351/2painters/IMG_2955.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: small;">Since I don't recommend a <a href="http://diyhomestagingtips.blogspot.com/2010/10/what-home-stagers-can-learn-from-shabby.html" target="_blank">Shabby Chic look </a>for home staging, I wanted my </span></i><br /><i><span style="font-size: small;">ancient "TV cart" to look fresh. Paint to the rescue. I worked in the garage, <br />where there is more protection from wind and funny weather.</span></i></td></tr></tbody></table>Spray painting in hot weather means the atomized paint will dry before it hits your target, so you’ll have a powdery finish.<br /><br />Painting in windy weather means you’ll have dust and other debris in your finish.<br /><br />Will it rain before your paint dries? Will the paint freeze overnight before it dries?</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Gather essentials.</b> Collect what you need.<br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/ad351/2painters/IMG_2972.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/ad351/2painters/IMG_2972.jpg" width="283" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: small;">A microfiber cloth makes a good tack rag, <br />and an old brush makes a good duster. </span></i></td></tr></tbody></table><br />Many projects are ruined when you don’t have the right equipment or supplies.<br /><br />Do you have enough paint, and even more than you need?<br /><br />Do you have the right brush(es)? A paint work bucket (not the can the paint comes in! Pulleeze!)? Paint can opener? Screwdriver to remove hardware? Sanding supplies? Tackcloth? <a href="http://diyhomestagingtips.blogspot.com/2010/08/painting-your-home-heres-advice-about.html" target="_blank">Dropcloths</a>? Any special solvent or other clean-up supplies? Rags?<br /><br /><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Common Mistake #2: Poor Prep</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Prepping is to painting what foreplay is to sex: the more attention given it, the better the results. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Always sand</b> a piece of furniture. Always. I don’t care if it is laminated faux wood. I don't care if the paint label says "sanding not necessary."<br /><br />Sanding gives a surface “tooth,” something for the first layer of paint to bite into.<br /><br />Sanding also removes loose dirt and other junk you don’t want to seal under fresh paint. There might be drips, runs and brush marks from a previous, poor paint job. Sanding minimizes or eliminates these little problems that make a big difference in your results.<br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/ad351/2painters/IMG_2971.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/ad351/2painters/IMG_2971.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: small;">Sanding removes mistakes the last<br />painter made, and softens the edges. </span></i></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br />Besides cleaning and smoothing the surface, sanding can soften the sharp edges of furniture to give it a more finished, quality look.<br /><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Sanding between two new coats of paint is a good practice, as well. Sometimes the paint you are using has pieces of trash in it (especially if you used your paint can as a work bucket). Sanding between coats removes these minor imperfections, and smooths the surface for a better final finish. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Always clean.</b> If your furniture piece is old, wipe it with a cleaner to remove things like nicotine layers, grease, wax, and embedded dirt. Then, let the piece dry completely.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Always prime. </b>Although many painting projects don’t require it, a primer coat has advantages.<br /><br />A primer bonds to whatever surface you put it on, so the paint will be more durable.<br /><br />A primer can fill small scratches and gaps so your piece looks more custom.<br /><br />A primer gives you a blank slate so you’ll notice repairs you might want to fix.<br /><br />A primer can remedy discrepancies in paint, so you can apply a water-based paint over an oil- or lacquer-based paint with no fear of it creating “fish eyes” as it dries, or peeling after it dries. <br /><br />Primers are designed to dry quickly, so don't use a time crunch as an excuse for skipping your primer. Just prime! </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Dust.</b> Remove the dust you created by sanding, with a tack cloth, a duster-brush, or a microfiber cloth.<br /><br />What’s the point of sanding if you don’t get the sanding dust out of there?<br /><br />Don’t sweep or shake your drop cloth to put dust in the air. Move the project to a clean area, and use a dust-free drop cloth.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Get rid of the extras.</b> Remove hardware if practical.<br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/ad351/2painters/IMG_2991.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/ad351/2painters/IMG_2991.jpg" width="283" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: small;">Casters usually pop right off furniture. <br />These showed signs of age and paint drips.</span></i></td></tr></tbody></table><br />It’s usually easier to paint furniture if you can strip it of knobs and handles. While they are off, you can clean or refinish them. I like to leave hinges in place and either tape them off, or paint carefully around them. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Common Mistake #3:  Inefficiency</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Before jumping in, consider the most sensible approach to your project.<br /><br />For example, turn tables and chairs upside down, so you can paint the underbelly and insides easily. Who hasn’t painted a chair, and ended up with paint-covered arms from painting the insides of the legs last, reaching around wet paint to do it? </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Move it.</b> If possible, elevate your project to make it easier to work on. You’ll be able to see what you are doing and you’ll be more comfortable working without bending over. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Have a system.</b> You’ll avoid wasted motions and “holidays” if you pay attention to the method you use. Paint smart. Work in a planned pattern that makes sense to you and is appropriate to the piece of furniture.<br /><br />For example, if you have dresser drawers, remove them from the dresser, paint them, and place them where they won’t be in your way.<br /><br />If you’re painting a bookcase, lay it flat on a table so you can walk all around it, and follow the same order for each shelf: back, sides, top, then bottom, for example.   </div><div class="MsoNormal"><div class="MsoNormal"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/ad351/2painters/IMG_2988.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/ad351/2painters/IMG_2988.jpg" width="350" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: small;">Just the way I did when I painted plastic flower pots,<br />I started my repaint by turning the table upside down.</span></i></td></tr></tbody></table><b><br /></b><b>Have a staging area.</b> Keep your  supplies close at hand, and when you use something, replace it in the same pocket or the same spot nearby,  so you don’t waste time hunting for it when you need it again.<br /><br />This way, you won’t hear yourself mumbling, “Where did I put my rag?!” or “Where's the screws?!” or "Who stole my gloves?"</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Clean up</b>.Don't save it for the next day, even if you plan to paint again tomorrow.<br /><br />Schedules change, plans are forgotten, life takes over.<br /><br />Cleaning up is part of being efficient, so that the next time you want to paint, you’re ready.<br /><br />Whether you use a roller, brushes, a sprayer, or spray cans, leave your equipment, including paint, work bucket, dropcloths, and sanding supplies ready for their next job.<br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">DIY Furniture painting</span></b> can rescue old, inexpensive, or favorite pieces. Even if you are not staging a home right now, knowing how to repaint a piece of furniture is a handy skill any decorator or DIYer should practice. Do a sloppy paint job, and that bargain dresser will still look like a garage sale find, but a careful paint job will upcycle it into a prize to be proud of.<br /><br />Home staging counts on fewer pieces of furniture than we ordinarily live with. That means each piece has to earn its keep by adding to the style and appeal of your rooms. You can elevate even pathetic hand-me-down furniture into pieces that earn their way, just by painting them the right way.<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/ad351/2painters/IMG_3839.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="358" src="http://i951.photobucket.com/albums/ad351/2painters/IMG_3839.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: small;">When I cleaned the casters I discovered they were solid copper!

(That I still use for fancy occasion) Fast forward to a few weeks ago and there was a knock at the door and a huge box arrived with the return address being Fulton Sales once again. The generous team at Fulton Sales sent Oscar an early birthday gift - a box full of really cool toddler gear such as a beautiful aden + anais blanket, new see kai run shoes, new place setting to eat from, and <em>a whole lot more.</em> It was <em>very generous</em>, and Oscar and I had great fun going through everything. <br /><br />My favourite item by far has been the <a href="http://www.adenandanais.com/shop/blankets.aspx" target="_blank">aden + anais blanket</a> (top left) that he now sleeps with every. single. night. Because I got some goodies Fulton Sales offered to give a lucky reader a similar box of lovely items. Because what's the fun of not sharing the love, right? ;-)<br /><br /><strong>Enter to win a similar goodie bag that includes...</strong><br />· <a href="http://www.adenandanais.com/shop/itemdisplay.aspx?ID=102&SKU=6022" target="_blank">aden + anais dream blanket in babycakes/fairy</a> (LOVE this)<br />· <a href="http://www.bebeaulait.com/products/throw-blankies/throw-blankie-boy" target="_blank">Bebe au Lait (lille) throw blanket</a> – boy (I received one, it's so soft!)<br />· <a href="http://shop.ju-ju-be.com/Viewproduct.aspx?mmpid=10716&mmcid=11898" target="_blank">Ju-Ju-Be BeQuick in Powder icing</a> (I'm jealous of whoever gets this!)<br />· All wrapped up in a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Petunia-Pickle-Bottom-Shopper-Tote/dp/B004PBYCKO" target="_blank">Petunia Pickle Bottom Shopper Tote</a> (Siesta in Sevilla)<br /><em>MSRP of prize package - $120.00</em><br /><br /><strong>HOW TO ENTER</strong><br />Comment on this post and tell me what your favourite item was as a child. I'll start us off - mine was a stuffed monkey named Van, short for Vancouver that my Mom and Dad brought back from a trip. <strong>Exclusions</strong>: Only open to Canadian residents (sorry US friends)  Please leave your valid e-mail when commenting. If someone doesn't claim their prize within 5 days, I will redraw. Winner will be drawn via Random.org.
