We got section 2 done last night and this morning.....it's not an "alert the media" moment but I am starting to understand how this is all going to look when it's done and Babies I am EXCITED! No more faux-oak for Dharma :)
I started out with this.....remember?
I cannot recommend these sanding sponges enough, if you are going to give these spindles the sanding they need and get all the crannies in all those horrid country-crevices....gotta have these.
....anbd yes, Virginia, this actually works! I was so scared of getting paint on the carpet but the taping worked, take your time.
OK, OK. I had a little help. I did do all the sanding and most of the priming. Greg finished up the second coat today while he watched (kept an eye on) the guys doing the flooring :)
Thanks for checking in. Love your stuff, Lady!
Linking to Savvy Southern Style.....just to show off
That's a lot of work! I don't envy you but it looks Fab :D
ReplyDeleteMy. God. My carpets are that dirty.
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I have white spindles, but my post and rails are oak. I would love to stain those darker.
ReplyDeleteGreat job. I know that was a lot of work. I need to tackle my stair rails some time. Would love to have you link to my before and after party. savvysouthernstyle.blogspot.com

Hi, stopping by from Savvy Southern Style's party. I am also hanging out in suburbia in southern Ontario. The sanding sponges are a great tip, thanks. I'm hoping to paint my spindles white and re-stain the rail darker, but the project will probably have to wait until next summer.
