shhhhhh, don't tell mother nature

i got another arco box spray painted and the first of two (formerly black) cubes
i have i think three more arco boxes and another black cube to paint cream
then it's on to the drawers and then the BIG STUFF
desk
shelf
tv cart
file cabinets
maybe the drafting table ( maybe i should paint that purple?)
and the mahogany tables (sorry mom, but i HATE dark wood)
i keep listing them cause i have to keep reminding me

i will tell you that the one or two coat spray paints don't work all that well
maybe it's me
i used the krylon fusion and the rustoleum for plastic
they say one or two coats
hahahahaha
try i gotta do about 5
or maybe that was one or two over white plastic, and over black it's more?

i can't wait to start the green drawers, as over the years they have turned a hideous shade of yellowed out browned over green and a sort of greened over blue
they will all be cream when i get done with them
which is going to be a HUGE relief
the more light colors i get in here i think the better off i will be
(and i am eyeing the computer tower.......which is currently black, AND the stove pipe)

i am also thinking of eventually getting a tiny bistro table in metal for in the studio
although i will most likely rig a table with a skirt out of something around here without spending the money
i want something very light weight to move around

in doing this (oh so very slowly..........)
i realized i sure could use an addition just for books
endless walls of bookcases.......

anyway, i have come to the conclusion that the shakers were so right, built in's or wheels are the way to go
and pegs on the walls to hang chairs etc out of the way
i am coming more and more to appreciate shaker interiors
and workshops
but that whole celibacy thing.......nope that's got to go

so peaches and blueberries call my name
what is on everyone's agenda for today??????

til next time
