In an attempt to make the front of our house look somewhat less abandoned, I moved this single urn out here.
All those little bumpy bits have totally disappeared!.A lot of people only think of using caulking on things like bath tubs, sinks, and windows, but you really can use it on just about any DIY home project to get a nice perfectly finished look.
Here’s where my mirror meets the wall.It was just looking not so clean and newly refreshed.. You’re just getting all kinds of sneak peeks of this bathroom today now aren’t you?.Here’s after I did the caulking and tape thing:.
Okay, I ripped a little of the paint off along with the tape.Easily fixable though when I go through and do my last few touch ups.. One last little revelation I had: When you’re laying down your bead of caulking, you want to move in the same direction as you’re squirting with your gun.
So that means that as you squirt a little out, you immediately smooth it over with the tip of the gun.
It sounds counter-intuitive, but it really makes for a lot less waste and a lot less mess.I saw this old red board that I’d pulled out of the wood pile sitting next to my new grey back door and I thought it might make me happy to see some cheery red up there everyday instead of just the sad purple walls.
Really, they’re purple.It’s not the camera.. Well, that just doesn’t do the sign and all it’s weathered goodness justice, so we went out for some sunshine..
The board came off of an old Adirondack chair we had that fell apart so I really didn’t need to do anything but stamp on some white letters.There was some bluey paint left on some of the stamps, but I think that just adds to it.. Side note: Around here, they sometimes call Adirondack chairs “Muskoka chairs”.
