  1. Thanks Sandra! this is going straight to my how-to folder–an all in one! And I love how you did a few posts recently (like the fall decor one) about decor. You are such a sawdust girl that seeing your design side and interest in that was a nice treat 🙂 And sorry but I think I need to email you a question about our stringer to our stairs. We can’t do a thing to our walls until we get that figured out—it will be on it’s way with pics to help in explaining.

  2. Thanks so very much for this wonderful resource of painting tips. I have not only pinned this blogpost, but know I will refer to the great information often.
