Time to paint the fence....

Hi Everyone!  I hope your Sunday has been a good one.  I was out in one of the grain bins today looking for something when I came across this picket fence and birdhouse that I had made pre-blog.  (So no building photos).   In fact I had made several of them for one of my first craft fairs and this is the only one that's left.  So I decided to do a little remake on it and take it to my upcoming fair.

This is what it looked like before I started this morning.

 I cleaned it up and gave it a quick sanding.

 Then I painted it in ASCP in Old White.

 I haven't sanded it yet or applied wax in these first pictures.

 I repainted the birdhouse because the red and blue of the flag were a little faded.  I painted it in ASCP in Louis Blue.

 And here it is after sanding and wax.

It looks so much better after the little makeover.  Now it's all freshened up and ready for spring and summer.  One more before picture.

There really wasn't anything wrong with it, just a difference in style and taste.

I do like it much better this way.  Maybe I'll have to keep it and find a place for it.  Or I can enjoy it for the next month or so and take it to the fair.  If it doesn't sell than I know I need to keep it!  Maybe I should cut out a little bird and attach it to the fence.  What do you think?  Thanks for stopping by.
