A storage chest for Sonia

The Frugal Girl

I painted it white, and I put it in Zoe’s room, and then Lisey’s, and then when I moved here, I brought it along and kept it in Lisey’s room. Sonia and I went to pick it up and I brought it home to sand and paint it. Definitely time for some fresh paint. That’s the beauty of painting!

A Lego bookshelf for Zoe

The Frugal Girl

A nice thing about using the same paint over and over is that this shelf is exactly the same shade of white as Zoe’s bed, which I painted several years ago when I took apart Sonia and Zoe’s bunkbeds. Because it was toooo cold to paint outside (paint prefers more temperate temperatures. ? )

Two abandoned-house nightstand rehabs

The Frugal Girl

Anyway, after priming the nightstand, I applied the pink paint which, yes, looks very white. When I paint furniture in a light color, I often have to use caulk to fill in some gaps; the light color makes them rather unsightly. it will not look right unless it’s been painted over because the sheen is different.

Want to save money? Let go of the need for matching

The Frugal Girl

How 90s is this photo? If you DO want random things to match, paint them! But since it’s all painted with the same two paint colors, it kinda looks like it goes together. I’ve painted picture frames all with the same paint so that they match, and I’ve done the same with plant pots.
