A Priming Party

Today I'm throwing my own priming party. You are invited, of course! I can't tell you how cluttered and junked up our upstairs storage area is right now. It's baaaad! This fall, when it's not 200 degrees up there, I am committed to getting the space completely cleaned out - which means getting rid of everything I know I won't use. A lot of things up there are "future projects" - items I've picked up over the years that would be lovely all spruced up. Some things I've gotten around to making over in past months, others not so much. So in an effort to commit myself to the items I feel I want to keep, I've decided to start bringing them down from upstairs, sanding them off, and giving them all a good primer coat. I don't even know what colors I want to paint everything, but at least they'll be ready to go when I am ready.

Did you notice one thing in the photo above that is primed already? Yes, I spent the day Thursday kicking some major beadboard bootie! We still have a bit of finishing trim to add to the moulding right above the beadboard, but that won't be any trouble to slap some primer on when it's nailed in place.

Alright, the table is set and the primer will be served soon. Don't forget, B.Y.O.B! {Bring Your Own Brush!}



P.S. Tomato lovers unite! I so enjoyed reading in my last post how you like eating your summer tomatoes! Mmmmm boy!
