That's why I used a brush. Anyway... I WANT a new toy!!! Of course it'll depend on the price, but I'm thinking I could get a small sprayer for a decent price.<br />Enjoy your hot tub!!<br />VictoriaDesignTieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02561438683476880640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2351959994553377638.post-77873537313402015322009-08-12T02:36:44.501-04:002009-08-12T02:36:44.501-04:00I forgot... we're using a basic exterior paint...I forgot... we're using a basic exterior paint, but we're renting a sprayer to spray the paint on... two coats.<br />Cheers!DesignTieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02561438683476880640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2351959994553377638.post-78082545856570202522009-08-12T02:35:32.706-04:002009-08-12T02:35:32.706-04:00The magazine table turned out wonderfully! What a ...The magazine table turned out wonderfully! What a drag that you had to work through those darn bubbles! I wish I had a spray gun of some kind... when I painted my nesting tables last weekend I was so peeved about the brush strokes across the table tops!! Argh!! I didn't write about that problem in my post... I plan on giving the table-tops a light sand and another coat of paint with a sponge brush. I'm hoping that will take out those darned brush strokes!! BUT... I plan on doing more painted furniture projects in the future... so I'm definitely(!!) considering a spray thingy!!<br /><br />You asked about my house's stucco. Well... we call it stucco. I suspect that it was once that glass/rock-bits style stucco popular way back when... but it's been painted over (not by us). So that means I can't say for certain what was used in that original painting application. We're using a basic exterior paint on the walls... nothing fancy. I AM having second thoughts on colour though!! I keep waffling between 3 different options!<br /><br />Thanks for dropping by DesignTies!!<br />Hope you're well, Donna :-)<br />VictoriaDesignTieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02561438683476880640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2351959994553377638.post-62937824488937822582009-08-11T21:40:56.227-04:002009-08-11T21:40:56.227-04:00Congratulations and Happy Birthday.Congratulations and Happy Birthday.Pam Kerstinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10180448328445549120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2351959994553377638.post-45207892563598023122009-08-11T09:51:40.879-04:002009-08-11T09:51:40.879-04:00Yay!!

Lucky you!!<br /><br />Your comment about the plumber cracked me up -- pardon the pun!! :-D<br /><br />Next time you need to varathane something, try spray varathane. You can get it at Home Depot. It's way easier to apply than regular varathane, and you don't get any bubbles. I used it on the doors & drawers of the vanity in the ensuite (I painted it dark brown), and almost 2 years later, there's not a single scratch or ding :-)<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing more of your projects :-)<br /><br />Kelly<br /><br />P.S. The painting should be on its way to Ottawa as we speak.... :-)DesignTieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02561438683476880640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2351959994553377638.post-34043395392260344092009-08-11T07:32:10.684-04:002009-08-11T07:32:10.684-04:00It sounds like it's a good thing you got that ...It sounds like it's a good thing you got that hot tub, Donna!
