>Striped Plywood Project
>So I revealed my bathroom make-over yesterday…
I got this plywood at Lowes. Now, let me tell you a little story. I had a piece of plywood all ready to be cut in my cart, and there was a guy in front of me who just cut a piece from a bigger piece of the same plywood I was planning on buying. He decided he didn’t need the rest of his plywood piece. When I went to give the “cutting man” my dimensions, I asked if we could just cut it from the last man’s “scraps”, since there was more than enough. He said I could, he cut it, and then told me…”Well, that man is paying for the whole sheet of plywood, so I really can’t charge you for this piece.” I think I stuttered, and didn’t really believe him. I even remember him mocking my face of disbelief a little bit. I apologized…I didn’t want him to think I was just trying to rip them off. He told me it was no big deal, and I walked out of Lowes with this FREE piece of plywood! AMAZING!
I primed the plywood, and filled in some of the big dents/holes with some wood putty.
I knew I wanted some bold gray & white stripes, so I took out this painters tape I won from Impatiently Praying for Patience (thanks!!) and my tape measure. I measured the size of the stripes I wanted…
taped it off…
Let that dry overnight, and taped off & painted the gray stripes:
Once that dried, I cut out circles out of cardstock, and laid them out where I wanted them to go on the finished product:
To bring in my yellow, I used these clearance napkins I found at Target:
I am saving the printed ones, but I used the plain yellow napkins for the next part.
Now, here’s the annoying part. I made these stupid annoying pain in the butt sweet flower rosettes. I just hot-glued them directly onto those circles I made earlier.
You can’t tell in these pictures, but biggest one is bigger than my head. Yes, true story. It took entirely too long to make these stinkin flowers, but I love the texture it brings!
