Painting a 90's chandelier

If  you're painting the inside and outside of light globes different colors, paint the inside first. Then, use a plastic drink bottle turned upside down in the light bulb hole to keep overspray from getting on the inside.

Caulk tips for DIY projects

Sorry I've been a little MIA of late. Things have been busy with the little warrior, Iolaus. His little head is healing but so slowly. He has scratched it open which produced so much blood! The constant itching bothers him but he is thankfully easily distracted with chicken chasing:) 

Ok, back to today's tip. It's all about caulk. If you have worked with it before you know that it will harden once open. I had plugged this tube with a screw but it still hardened :/ no worries. Cut the top off with a box cutter, dig out any hardened caulk then duct tape it back together! Love that duct tape. 

A bead of caulk doesn't have to look perfect when you put it on at first because step two is smoothing out the line with your finger, or a tool you can buy, or a DIY tool aka a credit card. 

Finally, I get to talk about Iolaus again:) just look at that sleeping warrior. Freaking love'em!!!

The lighter is just for size reference. He doesn't smoke, yet. Haha
