Mary Lou,

This piece was in such bad shape, I really had nothing to lose, so I just sprayed it on, let it for about 30 seconds, then wiped it off. I recommend trying a small area as a test.
good luck!

What a beautiful eye catching ~ conversation piece you have created. I have a few pieces of ‘old’ furniture that I would like to try my hand at restoring with some new interesting changes. I’d like to start with a chest of drawers from a neighbor. My lack of motivation is the slight odor that still lingers after many attempts to get rid of it. I’m all for trying the bathroom foam cleaner, but would appreciate your directions on the process. Thank you for any helpful tips.

so happy you found My Repurposed Life. I hope you find a lot of ideas to inspire you. I’m always here if you ever have any questions.

That’s a great question Brenda!

With the planked side, it’s a little easier. If you look closely at the first picture in this post, you will see that I have 2 screws (in studs) in between the horizontal boards. I’ve yet to secure a screw into the underlayment board…only between the cracks.
On the gray side, I do currently have 2 holes. One is generally in use for a photo shoot. If it’s the higher screw hole, you can’t see the one below, because it’s hidden by the project. If it’s the lower hole, I take the picture keeping the higher hole out of the shot.

I hope that helps explain everything a little better. Today, I staged the same project two different ways–one on the gray side, and then turned the wall around and did the same shoot (staged differently) with the plank wall.

I am so glad I built that portable wall!!! It sure is a lot better than hanging stuff on the fence each time.

Thanks for inquiring about how I do that!

Beautiful job!! I would buy that in a NY minute.

Carol,

Thanks so much for your comment. I spent the afternoon doing a painting marathon with my Finish Max! Lots of projects in the works for my upcoming craft show (in October)
