We’re working on the 2nd floor! Michael’s dad and uncle drove 3 hours to help us hang drywall. It’s all hung, and the cut-out in the wall is framed. Tomorrow is mud day. It’s still a super mess.
It’s definately not done.
In the mean time, we gave Michael’s little brother a file cabinet for graduation. It’s a pretty lame present, so I tried to truss it up a little. Joe likes Lord of the Rings so I spray painted the white tree of Gondor on the side.
First I cut out the way-too-intricate tree with an exacto knife.
And then I used a glue stick and stuck it on the file cabinet.
I spray painted it white, and then repeated with a smaller template on the front. The glue worked fairly well. I ‘erased’ the spray paint with a Sharpie where the stencil didn’t adhere perfectly.
Done! The good thing is, if he decides to no longer enjoy LOTR decor, it can totally be spray painted back black.
Looks a lot lighter in there already. Am proud of you two, in case I haven’t said it before.
