Critter Siphon and Ardex Feather Finish

Hey, all! 

I hope you're enjoying the weather where you are. It's currently 80 degrees and sunny here in #Tampa, FL. That's a nice switcheroo from the six degree (yep, that's a temperature my southern friends), grey-skied #Pennsylvania I left on Thursday. My nose is still producing an insane amount of boogers but I'm confident the vitamin D will fix me up in no time. 

So, last week I told you all about the dining room makeover I did at the Briggs' house in Milford, PA. Catch up on that one real quick if you missed it! I spent the better part of this weekend getting organized. When I first moved in to this apartment I had tons of downsizing to do. I'm still working on storage solutions for all of my stuff, Valen's toys, etc. to accommodate a smaller living space, but with my friend's help (thanks, Jamie!) and a lot less furniture I was able to get some toddler-uninterrupted organizing done in the garage. There are still chairs hanging from every wood beam in that space, but it's more project friendly now. WHICH MEANS...

(Drum roll, please)

I can now test out my Critter Siphon Gun on its first client project. For those of you who don't know what the heck that is, let me explain:

It's an awesome paint sprayer attachment meant to work in conjunction with a compressor. After lots of DIY blog readin' I decided to try it out. It's a much more practical option for me than the expensive paint sprayers that require a lot of cleaning. Because I paint kitchen cabinets, furniture, doors, etc. I need something that is low maintenance and that sprays a very fine mist. These are quick painting projects and so laborious cleaning is not something I want to deal with; the #Crittersiphongun attaches to mason jars and you simply cap them when you need to switch from primer to paint, or from paint to top coat, or from one color to another, etc. You all know how I love spray paint, and so it will be nice to get spray paint results with any paint I want, and without my hands going numb from trigger pulling.
