So we did.. By the time we got this all figured out and the balloons outside and mostly frozen, the weather was starting to heat up.
And I got it done!And I figured out how to do it without losing my mind..
It looks like it should be pretty quick and easy to paint these thin little strips of nothing, but let me tell you: It can get some kinda tedious!.If you’ve seen my pretty beadboard and you’ve been thinking about attempting this project too, I have some tips for you!.Tip #1: Set aside a couple of days to get it done.
Make them “painting days”.Wear your painting clothes the whole time and just plan to be a general mess.
At first, each pack of 6 beadboard strips was taking me about 45 mins total to get done, but it was spread out over a couple of hours including drying time.
I was thinking originally that I could just set aside 5 minutes per coat and kind of do it without making a mess hopefully in between all of my regular activities.A list for the ages!
Just a basic list that I could use year after year for all of the “stuff” that we need to remember to pack.Up until now, I’ve usually just set out a few bins and thrown stuff in there as I think of it over the course of a few weeks.
I scoured the web and looked at everyone else’s lists that I could find to help trigger my memory for things that I wanted to bring.It was actually super helpful to see what everyone else liked to take along, so I thought it might be nice to share my list with you.
