Next I moved into the living room and added this little polka dot garland to the shelf in there.Well, I guess it’s three mini garlands, but you know what I mean.
It looks more complicated than it is.Obviously this was Chris’ creation!.
When the lower shelf was dry, we attached it in place, and then added a bit more bracing to the top to give us something to attach the skirting and the barn wood counter top to.. Then it was time for the stain!.We used CIL Woodcare Ultra Premium in a semi-transparent color called “Traditional Walnut”.It features deep penetration for enhanced durability, mildew resistance on the stain film, and it protects against fading and UV damage as well as water damage.
CIL has a whole line up of different Woodcare products for cleaning, beautifying, and protecting outdoor wood surfaces, so make sure you read the label so you pick up the one that best suits your project and your needs!Home Depot caries the largest selection of CIL Woodcare stains, including an exclusive range of super-premium stains: CIL Woodcare Distinction™, Canadian Wood Oil, and Fine Wood Finish all with distinct colours, features, and impressive warranties (satisfaction guaranteed for as long as you own your home!).
I started out by staining the smaller pieces, like the pieces for the storage trays we built first.
Smaller projects can sometimes take longer to stain than bigger projects because of all the little corners to get into, so getting this out of the way made me feel like I just flew through the rest of the staining process!.And those ugly closet doors…Last Summer, Kennedy and I had a great time making all kinds of treats during the weekdays when she was home from her various camps.
Cooking with kids is probably the greatest trick ever for a mom.First of all, it accomplishes something (Hey look!
I made dessert tonight!), and second of all it keeps little hands and minds occupied.
