How to Get a Distressed Look Without Stressing – Distressed Faux Finish Made Easy

Leroy March 5, 2012 1 Comment

Talk about a distressing situation! We are expecting our second child, a girl, in the beginning of August. Thank you very much. In case you were wondering, yes we did register at several places; dewalt.com, lowes.com and rockler.com. Anyway, our first child, a boy, is now old enough to move out of the crib and into a real bed. So, my wife went down to a ‘professional’ yard saler who has a lot/carport/shop just down the road from us.

I’m not sure if you’ve ever heard of a racket similar to this one, but apparently it’s a pretty good system of business. With that said, my wife bought an old twin sized sleigh style headboard for about twelve bucks. This thing had a little water damage and was missing most of the bolt button caps but otherwise was in great shape. All it really needed was a new paint job and voilà – good as new-ish.Read More

Silver and bronze medalists: Never heard of them.”

Well, for those medalists who didn’t take quite enough steroids to capture first place (and in case you didn’t know, curlers are the ultimate juiceheads), we have a way they can turn those bronze medals into gold-looking ones: Metal Magic Metal Refinishing.Read More
