Engineering Man was gone playing ARMY this weekend, so Mini #1 and I had bonding time as I painted the dresser. He ended up "painting" his bed while I painted the polka dota. And needless to say, but we both slaved for hours.
And when I mean hours, I mean HOURS.
And when I mean hours, I mean HOURS.
I then used 5 different sizes of tupperware lids to draw circles sporadically across the dresser front, sides and top.
Each color took approximately 45 minutes.
Multiply that times 5 different colors...you get hours.
(I'm definitely NOT a math wiz)
I had to mix the blue paint with some already on hand. Again, because I'm a cheapskate. I'm excited I got fairly close to the original color in the room.
I also matched the yellow to the yellow in the room with a paint strip.
Now, just wish me luck on the bed. Mini #1 was wonderful enough to add his own artwork to the wood so when I'm upholstering it, I can be entertained.
He even helped me out by providing a little extra lighting from his "head helmet" when I was taking the final picutre.
He's so good to me.
