Painting Instead of Replacing!

I shared what I did with this a couple months ago. It's the two outer, lighter, shelves attached to the darker middle shelf.


Well, I finally finished getting it painted. I was trying to paint it outside but, the weather had other plans for me!



There it is black. And now, to learn from my mistake. When you screw something together, don't speed up when it gets harder, go slower. lol I accidentally scraped a big spot of the paint off. That's why you have to be super careful when working with glossy surfaces that have been painted. So, if you have the option to sand a glossy surface then prime and paint it, that's the way to go.


Here is a close up of my boo boo. I'm just going to have to use a smaller brush and paint it again.

And here is the final result complete with all the clutter! lol


Hope this inspires you, to get creative at home!
