So I really wanted to learn to make a lemonade stand for Ryan. I found this DIY tutorial at Seevanessacraft.com and told our Papa Del to teach me how to do it. Of cos, I go to his place expecting a lesson from him but he’s already got it all done lol.
He says he left the screws slightly loose so I can tighten the screws myself LOL….like really, did he think that was what I asked him to teach me????? To tighten the screws? 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄
Clearly he didn’t need to read my blog to know that I’m a lazy mom lol. Oh well, less work for this mama! 😎 😎
So now all this lazy mom has to do is to paint it 🤗🤗… Thanks again Papa Del!
So I wanted to use chalk paint for the top board so that it doesn’t just have to be a lemonade stand. It could be a cookie corner or just anything really. I didn’t however want to buy a pint of chalk paint so went to Vintage & Restoration Love to check out what they had.
The ladies there recommended me Fusion Mineral paint in Homestead Blue. While it wasn’t chalk paint, they gave me tips on a chalk treatment that will allow us to use chalk on it.
& TAH DA! This is how it looks like now. If you have any ideas on how I can decorate this further, please share with me 🙂
I am not a DIY person but I really want to learn doing simple stuff. And using the Fusion paint was really easy peasy & so was the chalk treatment the ladies recommended. Didn’t do a video when I painted it but it was really easy. I just added like 1/2 tsp of water to it and painted 2 coats of it and let it dry.
The video was more of the easy chalk treatment that they taught me. Honestly, I love how it looks after the chalk treatment. By doing this step, I can now use chalk to draw anything I like on the top board and it will be super easy to clean just like a regular chalk board. Yeah!!
