My First Try at Full Metal Paint
The thing about full metal paint (FMP) is that it’s very, very long-lasting – years would go by without it dulling.

Ikea Helmer Hack with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint
Paint is one of the easiest way to transform a piece of furniture that just doesn’t fit into your decor. Back in October, I took an Ikea PS locker cabinet and gave it a more vintage-industrial vibe with Krylon’s chalkboard paint, craft paint and Annie Sloan’s dark wax. I’ll put the link to the tutorial for […Read More]
