Foiled again!
Hahaha! Well, my genious plans for painting were foiled by life in general. It got started, but alas, it will have to wait. I do have all the supplies now, so one of these days I'll just pull it out and "git'er'done"! Until then, I'm just excited to spend some time with family this Thursday, and joing the madness the day after with my mom and my sister. :D Oh ya, it's gonna be awesome...

Paint
I have finally found the paint that I want to use for our bedroom. But I am a little hesitant...why you may ask? Well, I will be the first one to admit that I am not all that crafty. Allbeit I am doing MUCH better in climbing up the "Crafty Scale," but I'm scared I will bite off more than I can chew in this one. :D
This particular look I want involves glazing. Not once, but twice. So from what I understand from all the little freebie paint pamphlets you can accumulate from the Home Depot, I will paint the base coat and leave it to dry for at least 24 hours. Then I mix glaze with paint, use a sea sponge thingamagig (hehe ya like that spelling? yeah baby!) to carefully sponge/mix on this glaze. Then let that dry, and apply a third, darker coat and blend that in. In the picture, this looks awesome!!! Under the direction of me...it could be interesting, let's just leave it at that.
SO, I guess I'm looking for people who have "Glazing Tips" that they would like to share that may make this process go a little smoother (no pun intended ;) hehe). Anywho, I am excited about it, I think it will look great. Now I just need to plan for about 3 days in a row that I have work off before Thanksgiving...
Hope everyone is having a FANTABULOUS fall day! Smile big! :D
