Anyways, it was an excellent candidate for a little hand painting!! This ...continue reading
Quick Touch-Ups So you need to touch-up some scratches in your wood furniture? No wood touch-up pens, blend sticks, and special repair kits for this girl! Being an avid DIYer, and and lover of all things repurposed, you know I cannot use a packaged product for its intended use! Besides, let's save the stain markers for the art projects!
