Yesterday I spend most of the day spray painting a hand-me-down metal headboard for Johanna. Bobby’s parents offered it to us since it had been sitting in their attic for years. Thankfully my mother-in-law and I have similar taste and she agreed painting it would turn something not quite our style into the perfect little girl’s bed.
Yesterday was by far the worst day in the whole year to attempt to spray paint. Blustery like you wouldn’t believe. And I came up with an ingenius idea of spraying the headboard on torn out magazine pages. If the wheels aren’t turning in your head yet I’ll go ahead and give you a hint: wet paint and flapping magazine pages = a lot of extra work. But I was persistent and by the time the sun set, I finished both pieces, front and back, double coats.
