Projects

I decided to paint the beige tile around my fireplace.  It didn't match with everything else after the painting was done.  I found some instructions on Pinterest and tried to follow them.  They said to only use a certain primer and no top coat but I couldn't get it to not streak.  So I decided to use 2 coats of primer and 2 coats of semi-gloss, the same as our trim.  I also used a roller on the semi-gloss instead of a brush.  I think it came out looking good, just don't look really, really close. (ha ha).  Here is a before and an after picture.

So what do you think? 

I also did a project to put in the backyard when it is done, if that ever happens.  I think it is cute enough that I may leave it in the house instead. 

I am still waiting on the last quote for the patio.  I hope it done before the end of summer.  Ohio time. 

Rory and Lola are coming over for 4 days at the end of this week.  Wish us luck!  I will be exhaused by the time they go home, I am sure.
