Fence me in

I saw this fence on Pinterest and decided that it needed to go in my laundry room. However, we seem to have a shortage of drift wood around here in farm country. so I found some "value" wood for 2.00 and looked up how to age it. Seems easy enough... just vinegar, water and a steel wool pad soaked overnight. Then painted on the wood.
I dipped the end in the solution and it is already greying. If you look closely you can see the difference. Check back later for the results.

Ramblings

I had Monday off Work and planned to work on some WIP s and try tocatch up with Mt. Laundremore. But I walked into the laundry room and started cleaning. And Then I started painting... You see a few years ago I decided decorate my laundry room in a beachy theme. I bought paint and rearranged so the garage and laundry room could be separate rooms. Then life jumped in and the paint sat in the closet and the garage encroached itself back into the laundry area once again. I decided that I was going to get it done this year for sure! I bought shelves for totes and have been dreaming about it for so long.so Monday I started. So far I have painted three sections and myself blue. :) I have two sections to go and a stinky spot that I can't reach without moving the washer . These are some before pictures.lighting is awful, sorry. The last pictures are from the picnic the kidlets and I took yesterday evening.
