I haven't updated in a while, so I'm gonna do a picture dump with a little commentary.
 |
| I started removing paint from the front door. It's a mess! |
 |
| We'll perservere. |
 |
| We also installed much needed blinds in the attic windows. |
 |
| We doubted a long time about the colour, finally went with white. |
 |
| They absolutely block the light. |
 |
| Shellac! |
 |
There was a spare night table around so I washed it, shellac-ed it,
and it is now extra storage in the attic bedroom. |
 |
| The bathroom vanity suffered water marks, so I fixed it... |
The first layers of shellac I used, I mixed well with all the wax contained in the flakes. I found info that the wax is more protective against vapour, which worried me more than a few droplets of water (we ventilate a lot but showers happen). However it is less water resistant.
I rubbed the spots with alcohol and a piece of cloth, which worked quite well, and then gave a few more layers of shellac, this time skimmed from the top of the mix. There will still be wax, but less. If this doesn't perform well enough (we are trying to splatter less, but we're human), I'll have to bring out the varnish :(
And... workshop! I'm very excited about the workshop ;P but it needs lots and lots of work...
