Antique Sewing Box Planter

Nothing says Springtime like a planter full of violet colored pansies! I came upon this sewing table at my local Good Will last winter and have been anxious for it to make a "Welcome Spring" statement on my front porch. I love the oval shape, drawers and decided that Painter's Touch Ultra Cover 2X in Gloss Sun Yellow - added those violet pansies and WOW - what a great splash of color! I wanted to also share the piece primed with Painter's Touch Ultra Cover 2X White Primer.

Seasonal Update for your Shed

With Spring around the corner and no hope for snow, it's a great time for that "Seasonal Update for your Shed." Empty your snowblower of gas by running it on idle until it's empty. Evaluate the front base and blades of the snowblower - it may have been hit by rust over this winter season. If so, lightly sand off the rusted areas, apply Rust-Oleum's Rusty Metal Primer. Next, to keep your snowblower true to color form, apply two light coats of Rust-Oleum's Stops Rust Brand in whatever color the base of the blower is. Stops Rust is available in over 30 colors! Of course, now you can reorganize your shed and place that cleaned up, freshly painted snowblower to the rear of the shed and pull all of the spring planters, seed and digging shovels to the front!
