Hi everyone! So excited to see so many new faces! I thought I'd share a project I've been working on with Tanner for the last couple days. We're not done yet, hence the part 1 dealy-do.
I bought this old radio cabinet for next to nothing, and decided it needed a new purpose. Not that the whole radio thing wasn't cool but....my radio is now is literally like
3'' x 1 1/2''.
Check out that awesome speaker carpeting! Reminds me of this...
Anyway...I totally know exactly what we're going to do with it! I think I'll save that for part 2...
We figured the carpeting had to go...so I got to go in from the backside (which is totally open right now...a huge reason why it was so cheap) and rip those suckers out.
I didn't expect this...although I totally should have...
Lets count the spiders together! 1....2....66....
So I had to get past that whole....situation...
That's just ONE corner of ONE drawer, mind you. I don't want to talk about the ones I found with my hand while painting.
So after my blood pressure went back down, I realized that next came sanding. Sandpaper is one of those things in life that I can't even think about without getting goosebumps. I've got them right now just thinking about it!!!
Needless to say, it takes me a VERY long time to sand anything. Tanner helped me, and by the time I got done with one side, he had finished the other sides haha.
Like my method of sanding? Circles...then some straight lines...and a nike swoosh....
But ta-da! It still gets done!
Minus the creepy speaker carpet!!
So now that the horrible little 8-legged skeletons are out of it, it's all sanded down, and ready for a fresh coat of paint....I'll leave you with a sneak peek & see you tomorrow with the finished product. ;) Can you guess what it's going to be?
YUCK I about died when I saw those spiders! Love the cabinet can't wait to see the finished product!
ReplyDeleteI like it white! Hmmmm, if you keep those criss-crossy things in the front, I could see wine bottles going in there. But you'd have to build in support from the back,so I don't know. That's the only thing that came to mind, but I know that's not it. Can't wait to see it all finished!

ReplyDeleteI like what I see. I always think about redoing but it doesn't get done. Maybe when I move to Montana.
