I shared when I posted FFF this week that I made a couple of big purchases on Thursday, so I thought I would show them off. Here’s one…
See that big hardware counter with all of the metal bins? Yeah, that. Woohoo! I bought it from my friend, Karen. She’s told me so many times that she would never sell that piece, so when she mentioned to me that it was for sale, I jumped on it. “Put a hold tag on it, so I can measure it when we go down there tomorrow!” I became very paranoid that someone else was going to buy it. I had to make sure it would work for where I needed it and it will. Perfectly. My husband is going to build a shelf to go on top of it to make it even more substantial. It’s going to be painted black with a stained paneled back to it. I can picture it already!
And I also bought this from her…
It’s a beautiful oak cabinet and she even has the glass doors that go on the top. I need some fixture display pieces to sell my milk paint out of and books and t-shirts and whatever else and these were perfect. There is a little more to this story, but I’ll share that in another post.
Yesterday and today I met with Jen, the president of Homestead House Milk Paint Co. (the company who’s making my milk paint.) She drove all the way from Canada, so we could test products and chat through the details of launching the paint. I’m telling you…I couldn’t have picked a better company to partner with. It’s really amazing how everything has come together. I am now finished with my freelance writing jobs and I defuzzed (cleaned) my house, so now it’s time to focus on the milk paint. I have to get the labels done, make the video tutorials, get the website up…lots to do.
Oh…and I totally stunk at announcing the winners of the cute European staplers. Here they are…
