This side table seemed lonely over in a corner so it got the burlap treatment and some rocks.

It’s painting time!I used Krylon satin finish spray paint in.

I did 4 light coats with about 5 minutes of drying time in between.2 coats coming from one direction, and then 2 coming from the other direction to get under all the slanted bits.There’s no need to do the sides since they’ll be hiding inside the hole.

It looks like it should be more complicated than that, but it really isn’t!.OK, so it’s not the most dramatic before and after because of all of the other updates still needed around here, but as far the vent cover goes it’s like night and day.

If you’re planning on updating an outdated room, keep this little idea in your back pocket.

You’d never know that these weren’t brand new now and you’ll easily save yourself $50 on replacing a whole room’s worth of covers.Here’s how it happened:.

We have this big bin of wood scraps sitting in the middle of our driveway right now.All little leftover pieces from the playhouse we’ve been working on.

So much project potential!.I found some of the thinner scraps and set them down on the driveway.
