Auto Zone

Here is the dollar store puzzle floor I am working on. Sorry for the blurry photo. Too much coffee and no breakfast... I still need to glue it down and add the final coat of finish.

I went to AutoZone yesterday and found 1/4 inch red pinstriping, some little flags and small silver tubing that I think will work for a couple of the lights I'm making?


I also got bought two car light bulbs. I'm going to try Kris's tutorial for making shell filled lamps with them. The photo below is the little lamp that Kris made. So cute and perfect for my beach house!

Puzzled?

I found this puzzle at the dollar store. I like the shape of the pieces. I think they might work to add some interest to the garage floor?


This website is where I found my inspiration. I would like to make an interlocking floor something like this.


Do you think this might work?


I guess I won't know until I try...

Weekend Projects

I found my tiny turnings. I've decided how I want to do the garage floor. I got the little hinges and casters I needed. Now I just have to get to work!

There will be a LOT of sanding going on here today.

Hope you have a very nice weekend!

Garage Floor

I want a terrazzo or epoxy granite floor for the garage. It has to be durable and very shiny, but not too slippery. :D

I painted some card stock, sprinkled on different glitters, then spattered and dabbed. I'll need to paint or spray it with clear varnish. Lots of it. I want a very smooth floor.

Do you think ModPodge or Gesso would work better? Check out this post about using Gesso! It's by Mel Stampz. Amazing stuff!

I also have to decide what color I want to use? I'm leaning toward the gray, but I do like the green too. You'll see why later.

I may put a stripe and/or checker board pattern around the edge of the room where the wall meets the floor? I don't want anything too fancy. This IS a garage, you know.

Just thinking out loud here. Thanks for listening!
