Mountain Paint Project

So this month for our Mountain Paint & decorating project we decided to do a Spring Spruce up gift bucket!  It's the perfect ...

"Congratulations on your new home"

"My son's moved into his first place"

"Honey the kitchen needs help"

gift!
It's also a creative closing gift for real estate agents!

The bucket contains some great necessities like rollers, tack cloth, tape etc... & $20 gift card.  The total value of the bucket is $64 BUT they are running a special you get the bucket and everything in it INCLUDING the gift card for $50! 

Check out our display...Cassie painted "lil' wobbly" the ladder in Benjamin Moore Mexicali Turquoise.  So cute.

Paint project of the month

Every month we execute a new paint project for Mountain Paint & Decorating- this month our color is Benjamin Moore Yellow Green and our project was a classic "Trash to Treasure" story.  It was so much fun, it can be done in a weekend for next to nothing and we love our new piece!  Here are the steps and the shopping list.

STEP 1

We started here.  Don't these Trash to Treasure stories always start at Habitat or Goodwill?  

We saw you across a crowded warehouse & knew you were something special!

Doubt sets in.  "Really Cassie?"

STEP 2

Commence sanding & it's FREEZING! 

STEP 3

So many good greens it was hard to choose.

STEP 4

Love a paint sprayer!  Does it look like Cassie does all the work?  

Some touch up...

and she's done!

The oil paint gives it a lacquer look.

We hope you like it!  Here's the shopping list.

• Desk-$20

• Sandpaper- .49/sheet or .79/block  (we used an orbit sander about $69 at Lowe's)

• Tack cloth- .79 (to wipe down the desk before painting.  It's a must!)

• Paint brush-  This one is tricky Mountain Paint has bushes that would do the job for anywhere between $6.99 and $28.99.  A low end average for a brush is about $10.  We borrowed the paint sprayer but you can absolutly do it with a brush only

• Drop cloth- $2.99

• Paint thinner-Only if oil based paint is used; unnecessary if water-based product is used. $5.99  (we used oil paint to get that high shine)

• Paint-$13.99- $23.99(the paint we chose was $23.99)

• Knobs-from Lowe's -$1.08

 Overall project cost based on these numbers would run around $90.00 on the high end and as little as $55.00 on the low end.  

NOW GO OUT AND PAINT SOMETHING!
