You know what's a
funny word? Spackle. Try saying it a few times. Spackle
spackle spackle.
Anywho.
Week one is in the
books and I can't wait to show you the progress! I'm tickled with the paint
color. It coordinates so well with the color of the future office. But, first
things first. This week I was able to hit all of my work goals: spackle, sand
and paint. It doesn't sound like much, but I'm working with limited time in the
evenings. For some reason Scruggs wants me to play with him and the husband
wants to eat supper. I don't get it.
My first challenge
was containing all of the dust that was about to be created by the palm sander.
I taped some plastic sheeting up around the closet opening. It worked really
well overall. There's still a thin layer of dust all over everything in the room
but that's because I'm a dum dum and didn't cover the gap between one of the
doors and the door frame. Guess where all of the dust escaped. It still helped
tremendously and I recommend trying it if you don't plan on clearing the room
out.
Oh, and I didn't
want to breathe in all of that dust so I had to get all set up with a mask. I
hope no one from OSHA reads this because it definitely didn't fit. And
then I thought I would have enough time to go to the store after I sanded and
before I needed to fix supper so I, uh, wore a shower cap to keep my hair
clean.
I look pretty darn
hawt! I see this becoming the new fashion trend next year. Don't be
jealous. You can look like this, too. Maybe I'll do a little mid-week
tutorial to show you how to achieve the look.
If you follow me on
Facebook (if you don't, why not?) then you saw the teaser I posted of the
paint. In black and white. I thought it was funny. But I was
probably the only one. Here's the color version of that picture:
Isn't it a fun
color! It's girly and happy and bright and apparently I'm really a five
year-old girl. It's a fun and unexpected pop of color when the doors to
the closet are open. I wanted a bright fuschia pink, but it just didn't
seem to go with the color of the office.
I love the colors
together. But it reminds me of something… Oh, yeah!
I had come up with
this logo four years ago and forgot about it. Pretty serendipitous. Or my
subconscious kicked in. You know, whatever.
This week my goals
are to get the bracing, table and pegboard cut, painted & installed.
Wish me luck!
Toots, y'all!
XO Scruggs
