Prepping

The long weekend is over and aside from enjoying some much needed sport-free time I managed to get my butt out of neutral when it came to the makeover of a certain desk and hutch that has been waiting to be rescued for more months than I care to mention!
Rescued from a local street they are of the sturdy pine variety and aside from a fresh coat of paint and some new knobs are in pretty good nick.
Out came the trusty palm sander along with a bucket of soapy water and they were prepped to an inch of their life!
I undercoated the hutch (shelving unit) and drawers last night and today started painting them. I'm going with a two-colour combo which I shall reveal in coming days....so stay tuned!
My painting clothes were fitting so comfortably they almost made the outing for school pickup!! I decided against it though as I don't think I know the kindy mums quite well enough (some not at all) to expose them to my paint spattered gear:)
