Not every project is big and important. Some are just little and important; or at least important to me. The part of the garage between the Residence door and the West Wing door is being treated as living space. The floor will be tiled, like the back hallway and the walls are painted the same as the inside. There is one wall that I decided to put shelving on. This is some shelving from one of my parents outside buildings. It is very nice heavy duty wire shelves. It had been in unconditioned air; so it was little worn looking. In the garage a shelf needs to look substantial so I wanted a big shelving unit and this is perfect.
My dolly and I took the shelves outside. Then I pulled out my handy dandy can of spray paint and went to town. This project used up all of my partial Rubbed Bronze cans and I had to buy two more. Not much area to paint but the paint just blows away.
You can see the light and dark of whats been sprayed and what hasn't been hit yet. I went with the Rubbed Bronze to match our hardware and to take the shiny away.
Here is my new "Recycling Center" . Close to the kitchen when they Residence is finished, yet out of the way. Pretty enough to walk by every day and not be offended. Yes, things that don't look really nice offend me.
Right now Bill is using this to hold his to do lists and stuff he is using in the building process.I don't know what else will go on these shelves. I am thinking maybe some pretty baskets with extra hats and gloves in them. My bins are labeled with what recyclables go into each one. Mallory the 3 year old "reads" them each time she goes by. Her teacher may wonder why her best words are Paper, Plastic, Cans, Foil, and Glass.
