floor stenciling with craft paint
Comments (3)We did the upstairs where our bedrooms are. We didn't have nice hardwood down, but couldn't afford to put down carpeting like we wanted so I painted them. I just used regular latex paint and kids painted floor with folk art paints for the fun stuff. Then we sealed it with a couple coats of urethane or something like made for floors (it was latex I think). It held up incredibly well and cleaned great with the finish over the top....See MoreBest way to paint over existing stencil?
Comments (4)Did you do the stencil? If you did then you know what kind of paint was used. If it's acrylic or latex, a good blockout primer should be all you'll need. You might get away with not priming but I'd hate to wake up in a few months to find that it bled through. If the stencil is oil - there are oil paint sticks and paint pots that are in decorative painting - then you REALLY need a blockout primer for sure. The other thing to do whether the stencil is oil or latex is to lightly sand it - just a few big swipes with a fine sanding block. You may not see it now but the shape of the stencil can telegraph through a new coat of paint....See MoreStenciling and paint sticks
Comments (1)I have used similar paint sticks before. The ones I used were oil paint sticks. You have to peel a little of the tip off,as it forms a skin, then rub on a paper pallette. They worked really great and did not bleed under the stencil. I felt like I had more control with what I wanted it to look like, less or more paint on my stencil brush, if this makes sense. They last a long time. I had a great experience using them.......See MoreKeep wallpaper? or paint and Stencil?
Comments (42)If you like staging, why not get into it? I purchased my sofa from a woman who did it for a condo complex, and she was busy. She had her 2-guys-and-a-van that she used, and she purchased high quality stuff off Craigslist and then sold it (she didn't do storage). I believe you just have to introduce yourselves to realtors as a kind of internship (prob. super low pay at first, but that's a very positive perk for the realtor to offer his/her clients...Of course you would just have to use the clients stuff if you don't want to "own" anything. Many folks (not you clearly) need an objective third party when getting a house ready to sell (the queries on the subject here are proof of that)....See Moregw:craftylady-2006
