I want to cover it with siding - but the projects budget is a little low these days (not that I mind when I'm sitting in the hot tub :))- so paint is a less-expensive fix for the moment.<br /><br />For your tables - try using a foam roller for the new coat. My sister-in-law (aka my expert) has painted ALOT of furniture and recommended either a sprayer or a foam roller to get a brush free finish. I am planning to buy a sprayer eventually because I want to paint my kitchen cupboards, so it will be a good investment. Ahhh - so many projects.<br /><br />Good luck with all your painting projects!Donna @ Paisley and Perspectivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16299989919872667627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1594718005346435377.post-69813590956515137502009-08-12T02:24:05.217-04:002009-08-12T02:24:05.217-04:00Thanks for the window love everyone!!
Brenda... th...Thanks for the window love everyone!!<br />Brenda... the windows we're installing are Jeldwen and the grills/mullions are actually part of the window design. The style is called "prairie". I chose them for their nod to craftsman detailing! I think they'll look even better when I paint the window frames in black!!<br />VictoriaDesignTieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02561438683476880640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1594718005346435377.post-64793193771578851872009-08-11T22:18:28.579-04:002009-08-11T22:18:28.579-04:00That window makes all the difference in your room!...That window makes all the difference in your room!

The stained glass idea is perfect as a window treatment! I was wondering how the retaining wall was coming along - glad to see the progress.<br /><br />What material is the outside of your house? Stucco? I'm curious to see what you paint it with. We have aggregate on 2 of the exterior walls of our garage and it is u-u-ugly. I want to paint it, but I'm not sure what to use.
