What you can't see is this picture is the primer still on my arm, (and a little on my leg), and the paint under my fingernails from picking annoying little fuzzies off the wall from the roller. It was a good roller too! Somehow, it started fuzzing a bit on the second coat.
So the study is officially painted, and I LOVE it! I've also been working on painting the sewing table. This is not going so good. The top fell over at some point during drying, and got some scratches in the primer. I sanded, but then was worried about the scratched parts that had no primer. So I touched it up, and after one coat of paint, it looks awful! I have some more sanding to do. Hopefully it'll be done in time for Friday's reveal to the husband!
I've been shopping like mad. I had to extend my $100 budget to $200. It's not budging again. I will return stuff if I have to. The most expensive part has been the wall collage. Wall décor adds up quick! Even at sale prices. I also tend to overbuy, see what fits, and return the rest. So hopefully I'll end up a bit under budget. Fingers crossed!
Tonight is more painting (sewing table), and possibly hanging curtains. I found one I like at Target. And when I say one, I mean one. They are sold in single panels, so now I have to try to find a second. There's a Target on my way home form work. I'm REALLY hoping they have the other half! Otherwise, I'll have to shop elsewhere. And I really like this one. The color is perfect, the fabric is nice, AND it's machine washable! A must with my allergies…not that I will wash it as often as I should, but hopefully at least a couple times a year. We shall see!
That's all for now! Hopefully I'll have some pictures of the finishes study to show you all soon!
What are you working on this week? Anything fun and exciting?
