I know it'll get scuffed up a bit but I'm hopeful that the weathering will add to the charm. Plus it affords the opportunity to easily apply different colors in the future if i want to. The drawerfronts are just half inch ply with no edge banding. (unlike the cupboard doors which are 3/4 and are banded). <br /><br />I want to try the powdered stuff in the future (general's paint was $18/pint retail). Word is that it takes a lot of effort to mix.Angostura Bittershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18059116265834492301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102624311203641219.post-62633004979915171532015-05-03T06:58:55.354-07:002015-05-03T06:58:55.354-07:00thanks mr randall :-)thanks mr randall :-)Angostura Bittershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18059116265834492301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102624311203641219.post-24905349511290304752015-05-03T06:43:08.416-07:002015-05-03T06:43:08.416-07:00Your shop looks great.

It darkens the paint and gives it a nice sheen. Might not be necessary with General's milk paint, I used the powdered stuff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9102624311203641219.post-7997701870817530652015-05-03T00:06:16.031-07:002015-05-03T00:06:16.031-07:00Ingenious solution to carrying sheet goods.

I think you will really appreciate the effort and energy placed in this improvement as you embark on the other main events that will be taking place here. It is good experience getting ready for the full onslaught of the planned kitchen renovation over there across the yard at niner-one-niner, eh? It almost looks like spacecraft could be built here! Very clean, indeed.popnoreply@blogger.com
