Paint comes in many varieties. There are six different shades of white that I've counted, and who knows how many there are still, lurking in the back of the color palettes, waiting to ambush the unwary? The paint comes in either flat, stain, semi-gloss, or gloss. Aside from flat, the others are water resistan. As the name implies, semi-gloss and gloss paint are shiny and, as the nice lady from OSH told me, are usually only reserved for the kitchen and the bathroom.
To say that do-it-yourself remodeling is bewildering is, in short, a heck of an understatement. And also-- plack is a funny word. Don't ask me why, but it is. Fear not, I know how to use it correctly even if it sounds like one of those words people spit out by accident.
On the bright side though, I had a bit of blue paint left at the end of the day, yesterday, and I painted my chair blue. To be honest I didn't really think that my parents would let me do it, but they did, so now I have a blue chair (pale blue, used to be a peeling coffee-brown) as a proof of my...what? Handy home-improvement skills?
Yeah right. But it was still fun to do.
