12 hours...

So here's how the last 12 hours went down...

It was about 7:30pm when this cute little monkey went to bed. He LOVES feeding himself these days...which is always so fun to clean up. LOL. So that's what I did for the next little while...

Around 8 a friend and I met up at Savers. I found some pretty cute stuff for my boys!

It was about 8:30 when I saw this beat up armoire. I almost walked right past it, but then I took a second look. I stood there for a minute and tried to imagine it all finished. I imagined it painted white, with a little bit of distressing around the edges. Then I thought about painting the knobs black. Next I noticed one mirror was missing and the other one looked completely hideous. Then I thought hmm... I could probably get a thin piece of wood and wrap fabric around it to stick right in.

So after I thought about all that and found out it was $9.99 I decided to buy it! I also had a $3off coupon (you get these when you donate something there), so it ended up costing $7 bucks! Not bad!! So what do you think? Can you see the potential?!

So once I got home around 9:30 I knew I had to get started on these 2 finds (I've been procrastinating) before I even thought about refinishing the new armoire. So I grabbed some kilz spray paint and put on a coat of primer. I love the spray paint primer because it only takes about 5 minutes to put on. So after that I noticed a yummy cookie sitting on the counter from a friend. I checked my e-mail, ate the cookie and headed to bed around 10:30 .  I knew I wanted to wake up early to get the first coat of paint on. It's too hot to paint in AZ after 8 in my opinion. 

So 6 am rolls around and I hop out of bed. I pull out my paint and paint sprayer and I'm ready to go! After about an hour of trying to get it to work and going crazy spilling paint everywhere I headed to home depot to get a new spray painter.

I didn't have my receipt or the box so I was pretty sure they wouldn't trade it...but to my surprise they did! I LOVE the Home Depot! So 7:30 rolls around and I'm back in business with my new spray painter (notice how the paint is still on the stove....about that....).

At 7:45 I head outside to paint and can already tell its WAY hotter then it was at 6. I get my first coat of paint on in about 5 min. This is why I LOVE my sprayer....when it's working!! We have a love/ hate relationship..

However I'm thinking it's a little to light. This is only the first coat, so it should end up a little darker. I was just hoping for more of a robins eggs blue. Should I go a little darker on the next coat? Since I have to buy a new can of paint and all... (from the paint incident... which we won't talk about right now...)

8 am rolls around and I've already pulled out the chocolate...

All in all I think it was a pretty successful 12 hours (minus the paint incident)!
