Today's Progress

Well I'm done painting the $5 dresser, and although it needs some touchup here and there and still needs 1 drawer repaired, I'm pleased with the progress so far.





Here's the before pic:







I was also able to get a little birdhouse done.





The bigger shutter birdhouse had a problem with the roof size, so I had to pull it off and I've set it aside for now. sometimes that's the best way for me to deal with problems, get back to them later.

Hope you are all having a good day.

    1 coat of primer and 2 coats of SW antique white paint. I have since sanded the high spots and I love the look. Thanks for asking.
