Painting the Mantel

Sharing is caring!

The mantel is 99% done!  But I’m going to show it to you anyway because the only thing it’s missing is the very very top which won’t make a huge difference in looks once it’s on.  We haven’t done that yet because a) I’m 34 weeks pregnant now and so, so tired all the time and b) in order to make the top I have to slide a 2×8 piece of 3/4″ MDF through my table saw which I just can’t do alone and c) my husband has been, as usual, extremely busy.  That’s why I learned to DIY everything myself and I hate it when I have to rely on others for help!  I just want to get stuff done!
