Looking to refresh your outdoor furniture? Get a step-by-step tutorial to find out how to paint outdoor wood furniture so it will last. When I shared how to paint outdoor metal furniture, I was pleasantly surprised by two things: 1) how many of you needed the tutorial! and 2) how many of you were ready for its companion post on HOW TO PAINT OUTDOOR METAL FURNITURE Prime (if needed) Wherever you see rust (or even significant areas of exposed metal), apply the rusty metal primer with a brush or roller to protect the piece and stop the rust. Let the coat of primer dry for 24 hours (or according to directions on the primer can). Paint.

This was actually a bonus room (a common design in 1990s homes), so it has served as both our playroom and my boys’ bedroom, with the unique alcoves acting as bed nooks in this large space. Paint (Behr Cameo White), wood floors, and fresh decor has made a huge difference. We also added a plank wall to one of the 3 MIXED METAL BATHROOM DESIGN COMBINATIONS Mixed Metal Inspiration. There are so many different fixture metal options: gold and brass, chrome, polished and satin nickel, stainless steel, and – with the rise of the modern farmhouse style – a bold black finish is popular, too. Interior designers are using mixed metals in kitchens and mudrooms, too. For example, I love this soft HOW TO MAKE AN ANTIQUE FULL BED INTO A QUEEN How to make a wood pressure clamp to attach a queen size bed frame to a full size headboard without damaging the headboard: Measure and cut. Place your bed frame up against the headboard and measure the combined width of the bed frame leg and the headboard leg. Subtract 1/4″ and cut two 2×4 pieces (one for each clamp) to that length.

The toilet was kind of walled off, but there was no separate water closet. I cannot tell you the number of bathroom floor plans Idrew
BLOG - MAISON DE PAX Decorating · Design. Tour a rich, traditional style home with surprisingly modern aspects like a two-toned kitchen and open living dining floor plan! There has been so much excitement about my parents' new house. In fact, I think the story where I introduced my mom had BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO VINTAGE RUGS Cropped Vintage Rugs. Another useful term when searching for vintage rugs is the question of whether or not rugs are cropped or shaved. It has become popular for vintage rug refurbishing to include shaving the top layer of the pile off, revealing the weave of the rug more vividly (by removing the worn, aged wool) but also making the rug a bit thinner and less plush. BLACK WINDOWS AND OTHER WINDOW TRENDS Black exterior windows help contrast lighter exteriors. While black interior windows help to frame the view. White windows are wonderfully classic, but they sure can look dirty (you can read about my recent window cleaning saga here ). The color black, on the other hand, canhelp hide dirt on
HOW TO PAINT WOOD PANELING Step 4: Fill nail holes. Let the primer coat dry according to the can. Now is the perfect time to fill holes in the walls. I like to do it at this point because the holes are easier to spot once the walls have been primed. Using wood filler or spackle, put a small amount onto a putty knife and fill holes and cracks. HOW TO REFINISH A TABLE WITH A NATURAL WOOD LOOK Stain. Apply wood stain in the direction of the wood. I used this gray stain to counteract the orange tones of the wood. Work in small areas. Allow the stain to sit for 10-15 seconds and then wipe off with a lint free rag. Seal. When the stain has fully dried, apply a matte wipe-onpoly.
DIY DESK WITH DRAWERS Cut a 45 degree angle on one end of your 24″ 1×2 (this step just removes the sharp corner of the cleat by making it angle into the wall under the desk). Then using a level, mark the wall at the exact height of your dresser, and secure the 1×2 to the wall so that the top aligns with the mark you made. Be sure to secure it into at least onestud.
DIY ABSTRACT ART FOR BEGINNERS (ABSTRACT LANDSCAPE DIY Large Art. I’ve always been a fan of one beautiful large piece of wall decor or even 2-3 coordinating ones over lots of little ones (I guess it’s the part of me that loves minimalism), but large art work can be so expensive. So I’m no stranger to DIY wall art but I’ve never made large abstract wall art before.. I have sometimes opted for affordable vintage or modern art that I TIPS FOR PAINTING WAINSCOTING Plus, if you are doing a color that contrasts significantly to your wall, you’ll need that crisp, clean line. 3. Use a paint and primer in one. Generally trim is done in semi-gloss paint, or at least satin, making it more difficult to paint over. Save yourself the extra steps of sanding and priming by getting a paint and primer in one. HOW TO HANG OUTDOOR STRING LIGHTS Then secure each light to the cable using zip ties (remember how many you counted in the previous step). Clip off the excess plastic. Attach all the bulbs that will hang on that particular cable run, then walk the strand out to spread the lights. Continue on the subsequentcables. Finish.
