It's Monday and I Made Something (Finally!!!)

Finally!!!

I've been waiting to link up with Tara at  

for 

but instead, I've been sitting in the sun. Doing nothing productive. Unless you consider Pinterest productive. Which I do.  

So I haven't made anything...

UNTIL I finally managed to tear myself away from the lounge chair and Pinterest and turned this:

with the help of one sidekick:

and three cans of this: 

into this:

I'm loving the color (I didn't know if I would)! And it looks so much more cheerful and bright! And now the shelf (and all the books on top of it) won't come crashing onto a poor, helpless second grader's head the ground every time someone touches it!  

Words of advice if you try this: 

Lay whichever surface you are spraying flat (this will eliminate the drippage {not a word- oh well} ) like this: 

Spray it, let it dry, and then flip it to the next surface. I learned this the hard way and had drippage. :-/  

Also, take a break because all those fumes will give you a headache!!!

Next job for me: organize the books to put in the tubs!!!

Thanks for hosting Tara!!!
