I was going to get rid of her, but I decided that I could probably just paint her and use her. This was a super easy project. I used Zinsser Primer again. IT'S THE BEST. I used two coats just to make sure those colors wouldn't come through. I couldn't decide on a color. I wanted a dark color, but black was just too dark. I love love love Lowes, so I just went and cruised the paint section, picked out a few browns that I liked, and took the Boyfriend back later. We decided on "Cowboy Boots". I LOVE it. I'm sure the name has a whole lot to do with my love for it, but whatever. I bought a quart of Valspar Interior/Exterior High Gloss.
I used 3 coats of paint and still have plenty left over in my quart. She turned out wonderfully and made a fantastic addition to the "soon-to-be/work-in-progress" office =)
She's perfect!

Happy Monday Y'all!
