Now that I’ve had to move stuff back into our bedroom again because we’ve decided to get all intense about this project, the amount of stuff is really very manageable.

In case you’re wondering, yes, the paint is inspired by the same Black Dog Salvage Company that you see on the show.Salvage Dawgs.. They’ve partnered up with Woodcraft to offer this high quality, super easy to use paint meant specifically for projects like restoring great vintage furniture pieces beautifully and quickly..

I was considering taking a trip to my local ReStore to find something fun to refinish with this paint, but then I remembered that my friend and neighbor, Sarah from.The Project Pile.has a whole long list of things that she’s been meaning to refinish that she’s picked up over the years.

So I thought, why not help her out with that and get some extra help with the painting too?🙂 Yes, she really does have a giant pile of projects that she’s trying to get to in her garage.

It’s pretty spectacular, actually.. We decided to refinish this outdated wine rack because we really liked the shape and the construction of it, and thought it was kind of a shame that it was that golden oak color that makes it instantly look old and neglected.. We set up on Sarah’s beautiful, gigantic front porch so we could work in the shade and get all those nice cool breezes coming in off the fields.. Here’s what the Black Dog Salvage Furniture Paint packaging looks like..

The small, colored jars are some of the sample colors from the sample kit that they sent me.One thing led to another and pretty soon we were in the middle of a full renovation!

We added a bigger window, moved the door, and moved all of the plumbing to fit our family’s needs.. Who primarily uses this bathroom and how did that affect your remodeling decisions?.This bathroom was an ensuite that was used mostly by Chris and myself, but because we moved the door, it’s now easily accessible from the hallway right off of the back deck.

It will be used by guests when we’re sitting outside and will probably be used by the kids most of the time too, just because it’s so big and beautiful!We kept that in mind when we were planning the room!
