That damn glider.

So, one before shot I didn't take was a rocker glider thingy that I have taken on. Mostly because I forgot to take a decent before picture (see previous DIY post, my camera skills are severly lacking). Welp, it was oak vainer (nothing sexier, am I right?), with this country-esque horrid blue fabric with little pink flowers. It would not qualify as country chic... not even ironically.

So, I started spray painting it white. This is when I came to the conclusion that spray paint is dumb. So, it sat in my backyard for a week. Half primered, half painted. That's when my neighbors came to the conclusion that we are white trash. But I digress.

I brought it in the house tonight to finish it up, once and for all. I got out my new foam roller I had read all about on Pinterest (Pinterest *does* know all, right?), and went at it with some acrylic latex enamel. Its starting to come together at this point... but still, looking like a 6th graph home ec project. I'm trying not to be discouraged, but man... 'tis not an easy task.

I will update with pictures tomorrow, and try to get an honest opinion from you, my 6 loyal followers :)

I'm a thrifter, baby

Okay, since moving out to the country (which I plan on going further into in a later post), I have taken up buying junk with the grand notion of making lovely things. SO far I have 37 unfinished projects going. I may be embellishing the number a bit, bit it feels close to 40, I swear. My plan is to take pictures of these projects as a before and after section... Maybe someone will pin them and I will be famous. Pinterest famous. A girl can dream.

So, as soon as it's not storming I plan on taking the before pictures, then updating when I'm done. Hopefully you guys like what I do, and can offer up some ideas as well!
