trelali | Let's talk about awesome.

I got to do a major project this week and it was SO FUN. Something I've been wanting to do since I was a little kid and never took the opportunity or made the time for.

Here's the tutorial I used in order to take this...

to this...

As part of depression, my brains, my moods, etc. - the things around me need to be cheerful and happy. I need something external to make me happy since internally, I just can't do it.

Guys, I am so excited about this cheerful yellow table, I cannot even tell you. So excited.

Since it was the first time I'd done anything like this, I did do a few things wrong. I used a brush for everything and I really should have used spray paint. I used a crappy plastic trim roller instead of a good foam roller. I used sandpaper instead of an orbital, which didn't do much except that I got a blister on my thumb. I went a little heavy with the wedge in a couple of places, making the table a trendy sort of distressed - which is a style I am really not a big fan of at all.

But overall? I am so excited, so pleased, so so happy.

Look at how cheerful it is!
