No this isn't a post about the reality show
Here Comes Honey Boo Boo
But it is my reality...
My Honey MADE a Boo Boo
and I get to fix it!!
I was in Michigan...again
My Honey decided to start working on the trim in our my home office (this is a task we decided to take on ourselves when we got the new floor...so we could add the trim...after the room was painted)
So again...I'm in Michigan...
and my husband is left to his own devices...
and this is what he did...
ummm hmmm
he did...
He painted the trim around the built in desk/bookcases with the same white paint that is trimming the rest of the room
AND caulked it!!
Why you ask?
I haven't got a clue!
I wold like to paint my built in's white...but we are going to be downsizing soon...and think it best to leave that decision to whomever might live here next...
so why he decided to carry the white trim around this built in...
is beyond me.
He is a very intelligent man...Masters degree...good provider...
great husband...great dad...wonderful grandpa...really good writer...almighty hunter...
but once in awhile he shows this total lack of common sense!
Since it was caulked, I thought the best way to fix it would be to paint it
So...
I went rummaging in my craft room for some supplies...
This was much easier than I even expected it to be...
Started out with the med brown you see on the upper right in the pic above
put just one coat on the trim...
The color was blending so good,
that I didn't have to tape anything off...
Once I got a coat of that all the way around...I probably could have stopped. One coat was good because it was uneven...giving it a more stained look.
but then decided to take the next darker brown that I had and kind of give it a wash with that
(thinning the paint down with water)
that gave it a bit of a look of grain...
and wha-la
Good bye Honey's Boo Boo!
