   About Me

My Project Steps

• Start with a clean covered area, (I use 1/2 of a large black trash bag taped to the table)

• Before picture

• Take apart if possible

• Clean unit

• Work in comfort, (work on table not floor, stool if needed)

• Paint, work back to front or bottom to top, Dry

• It's okay to change your mind as you work

• Repeat 1 more time if needed, Dry

• Distress if desired (most my work is... It's so forgiving)

• Seal or Protect, work back to front or bottom to top, Dry

• Repeat 2 more times (back or bottom I may do total of 2 times and front 3, Dry

• After picture

If not having fun or things are not "going right", STOP for the day!
