Well, I have been wanting make a growth chart for a while, also I have been wanting to make a pantry with labels. I make a lot of teeshirts by hand painting with freezer paper and this would make my life easier!
Thank you!
A little surprise…
Looking better already. In Progress: Old counter, sink and faucets gone! Running electric to install an outlet under the sink for instant hot water tank.
In the meantime, I started “frosting” the glass panels on the French doors between our living room and family room. The family room is on our DIY to-do list and isn’t finished. It’s where teenagers hang out and a ‘catch all’ for just about everything so being able to see in there isn’t ideal.
Use the transfer paper so that the frosted vinyl can be applied to the glass panel.
Place to glass panel and rub with a credit card.
Here is the way it looks from the other side (the unfinished family room side).

Materials:
Primer
Paint – We used Benjamin Moore Satin Impervo Paint (it’s like an enamel coating – love it).
Paint brush – We use Purdy paintbrushes.
Sand paper – We used our Dremel Mult-Max
These were our cabinets when we moved in…orange-tone red oak with brass handles.
2. Label each door with tape (keep this with the door at all times).
Benjamin Moore’s Satin Impervo is thi
ck. It dries to an enamel-like finish. Spills wipe off with a dry towel easily! It’s also self-leveling and a great choice (worth the extra $) for it’s durability.
Tip: Using a screwdriver and hammer, poke small holes around the lip of the can. It’ll act as a drain for paint that collects there and make life much easier when the lid goes back on easily and isn’t “glued” with paint when it dries.
9. We allowed at least a few days between each coat of paint.
New color is actually not white but gray. It’s Benjamin Moore’s Moonshine. (I’m not sure why that day says is was mixed 9 years ago!) We purchase our paint at our local True Value store.
