My hubby had one stall of our 3 car garage converted to a sewing room for me. I love it! My sewing table is an office desktop that I have plopped on two file cabinets. They were an ugly gun metal gray -- until yesterday when I hauled them to the backyard, sanded them and painted them white.
No way is such a project as easy as HGTV shows! They show a quick sanding and shake the can of spray paint and press the button. Right? My finger is sore from holding the sprayer down, my back is aching from bending over the project and I got paint all over the place including on my nose. There are runs in the paint because I got too close and overspray where I don't want it -- but the color is great and who will see that the tops aren't perfect when the desktop covers them? However, I will take a class on spray paint before I try painting metal again!
