Finally Painting the Living-Room Wall!

And then the pictures!

And in case you were wondering, we used Photoshop to mock up some compositions before we decided on the final one:

Kitchen remodeling!

We used the SEKTION cabinets with the white RINGHULT finish.

Dining Table

We got a whole wood IKEA table and used the legs and metal frames. We bought birch plywood panel, cut it to size, sanded and painted it. We bought long pine parts (1X4) and extended the table frame.

This is the leftover tabletop from the one we used. We pretty much doubled the size.

The table top came from a kids table

Make sure you use a top clear coat that’s durable. We’re already seeing scuff marks.

KARLASTAD + Washing Machine Dye

http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/categories/series/11086/

Took forever to pick the right formula for the dyes, using Rit liquid dye for the washing machine. The decision was Teal + Aquamarine at a 7 to 1 ratio. That came out too green so I did one more wash with just Aquamarine.

We got the Karlstad Armchair and Chaise in white.
