BEDROOM FURNITURE MAKEOVER

While shopping at Home Depot the other day I saw a paint made for doors and trim by Glidden. It claimed to leave no drips or brush marks. The sample they had painted was amazing. Since I had an old chest of drawers that was ready for the trash, I decided to try my hand at painting it. Here are my before and after pics.

The wood is scratched and hardware is missing.

My first step was to clean the chest and then prime it before painting. I used spray primer!

Here is the finished chest. The finish is really beautiful. I have since used this paint for the bookcase and bed.

Here is the finished bookcase and chest.
This door and trim paint comes in quart size only but it really goes a long way. The cost $17.99 for three items of furniture.
I can't wait to start painting my doors and trim!

SAVING - YOU CAN DO IT!

Saving money is hard for many of you. You want to but you barely make ends meet now! Here is a quick tip to help you. When you cash your check take a few dollars out for savings before you leave the bank. Put it away! Not in your wallet! You will find you don't even miss it. Even a few dollars a week will begin to add up over time.

Another fun way to save is to have a "My" jar. For me it was a secret place that only I knew about. I would add a dollar or more every now and then and I'd have $20 or $30 before I knew it. When you have enough, open a savings account and don't touch it. Turn it into a game and savings can become fun!
