Painting Some Finds From The Great Junk Hunt

Hey y’all! Sometimes you just need a little crafting therapy, right? Today I’m in one of my favorite places, here with you all, crafting a bit of stress away! Come hang out, and let’s make something pretty.

Check out the video below and leave a “replay” comment if you’d like!

Here’s what I started with! I decided not to paint the rooster weathervane just yet, but stay tuned!

Lizzy and Erin Designs: Water Girl Continuous Spray Bottle

Debi’s Design Diary DIY Paint: White Swan, Gravel Road, Mint Chip

Other paint: Teal

Now let’s have some crafty time!

I’m starting with the decorative boards. I’m thinking of hanging them above my doors on the inside of the house.

I’m using Debi’s Design Diary Gravel Road for the first coat of paint.

I’m drying it with my heat tool, but you can always set yours aside to dry if you would like.

I’m using the Lizzy and Erin Designs Water Girl Continuous Spray Bottle to wet my brush for the top coat, which is White Swan. Just a mist on your paintbrush, or the lid, not in the jar of paint. You just want a little mist.

Once the White Swan dried, I used my sanding sponge to bring back some of the Gravel Road (gray) and also the wood beneath.

Here’s the look I was going for! Yay! It’s a good craft day, y’all!

Now for the chicken feeder!

I am alternating that teal color and Mint Chip to create a certain look. Can we just have a moment over that Mint Chip on the right? It’s absolutely beautiful!
