WELCOME TO THE little CRAFT/SEWING ROOM

Okay-

The truth is that I am not quite done
with the craft/sewing room

but I AM far enough along to 

give you a good peek.

I am going to break this up into

a couple of posts because

I have grandkids here for the weekend

and you can imagine how time 
flies and there's not much time to blog.

This door is INSIDE our garage.

It is the old front door that was

on this house when we bought it.

Too pretty to not re-use somewhere.

There is a car IN THE GARAGE 

to the immediate right.

The "blue" you see to the left

is that sea-foam cabinet

and is full of patterns, etc.

I will show you that another time.

Come-on in!

When you open the door this is 

what you see.

That is my sewing table to the right.

It belonged to hubby's grandmother

and is a true Art-Deco piece.

There was a desk that matched

that we gave to a friend (darn it).

It is the perfect height and size

for this room

You can see the use and age on
the polished black top.  
The top is some kind of "resin".

Immediately inside the door
is a sink.

I picked this old tin & porcelain sink up curbside

when we lived in another town.

It was rusty and back then I 

painted it green when I was using

it for "potting".

Here it is all spray painted and cleaned up.

I spray painted inside and outside.
The bottoms of the shelves
were in pretty bad shape.
So- I covered them with 
self-adhesive tiles.

I do this under all the sinks in my house, too.
I just buy a cheap shiny self-stick tile
and cut to size. 
It makes it so easy to keep clean.

My next post I will show you the rest
of the room.
I should have it completely finished by then.
At least now the basics are all in place.

Okay-Here is your laugh for the day-
At MY expense, of course.

Before I started painting the sink 
I checked my paint supply.
I had 2-1/2 cans of Rustoleum Gloss White Enamel.

Good to go.
I figured I would need 2+ cans.
I start with the 1/2 full can and 
I spray the whole inside
of all the sink cabinets
before I run out of paint.

I open Can #2-
THIS is what the paint does.
Cleaning the nozzle does NOT help.

Not to worry.
I have a THIRD can and by now
I am pretty sure one more can will do 
the whole job.
Whooo Hoooo!

Um...Hello!

Let me just say-there is something
DOWN INSIDE the
spray hole and it will
NOT TAKE another nozzle.

Okay- I want to finish this so 
I realize that 
I HAVE to run to Home Depot 
at this point.
I am in an old nightgown to paint.
Yes- It's true.
No pictures of THAT!

I HAVE TO change clothes to go to
Home Depot.

I throw on some clothes-
hop in the car and run to 
Home Depot.
NO ONE in Home Depot
will look me in the face.
I think---
That's ODD!

However, I get TWO NEW CANS
of white spray paint.
I get in the car and look at myself
in the mirror.

My NOSE is full of 
WHITE SPRAY PAINT.
It looks like BOOGERS!

I can't do it- 
I just can't do it!
I CAN'T show you a picture
of a nose full of 
WHITE SPRAY PAINT.

Next time I will wear THIS!

NOT to Home Depot, Silly...
Just to paint!
I will wear something like THIS
to Home Depot next time.

HA!  We'll see who has the 
LAST LAUGH 
after all!

I have kids here for the weekend
so I most likely won't be around
until Monday.
Have a GREAT weekend!
