So, I'm pretty sure I'm in over my head!! Knowing that things never go as planned (or at least with my husband's projects), I told him to give me about a week to get the table sanded, primed and painted. He thought it would take a couple of days. But, we didn't take humidity, stupidity (my total ignorance on this subject) into consideration. So, it's been over a week and I've sanded and painted almost everyday ;) and the table is no closer to being done that it was a day after I started. uh huh I'm a pro.
I don't have a current pic, but the table is a smudged up mess of white enamel. Evidently painting in the garage wasn't a great idea. It's inside now and at the risk of being a real hoosier, I'm thinking of just using as is, rough up the edges, give it the distressed look and call it a learning experience. But, I know me. That won't happen. I won't be able to stand to look at the uneven dried paint and would be sanding the table in the middle of the living room one day because it got on my nerves. Now I have to decide whether to grind it down and start over or sand and spray the thing instead of brushing it! It just feels like cheating if I don't paint it by hand. Oh well!
