How to stain your old fence!

For this project we started off by power washing the fence. You can rent a power washer machine in the nearest hardware store to you. Or you can just try to wash it yourself with a brush so all the dirt comes off. Then the hard part starts hehe 😂 If you are like me! The hardest part will be choosing the correct color and the correct stain type. You want to take your time choosing the right color, the least thing you want is to paint it and then realize you don't like it. I suggest you to purchase some samples first. The color that we purchased at Sherwin Williams is called SW 3505 Yankee Barn. At first I thought it was a bit too red but I ended up loving the way it looks! 👏😃 We sprayed the stain on and then we rolled it so the stain penetrated into the wood. If you don't have a sprayer you can just roll it on. Well I hope that my post helped and inspired you to stain or paint your fence.

Turn an old end table into a new one!

Today I'm going to tell you guys how I turned my old table into a more modern and nicer table. 

Materials used:

Brush 
White primer 
White paint 
Design paper with adhesive 

First I started by adding the designed paper on top of the table. I bought a roll with that design at best buy for $2 dollars, it already has adhesive on the back so it's easy to apply. I continued by priming the old table with a primer that I had previously purchased a while back. After it dried I just painted it with white paint, I applied 2 coats and done!
