Our teenage son has an opinion when it comes to his room.  He isn't at the age where I can do what I want to his room anymore, although I did persuade him to go the industrial route and so far so good.

The room itself has been a work in progress for quite some time because we work on projects when we can pay cash for them AND working around shop orders is a little tricky lately.

We started with the floor several months back when we ripped out all the carpet and laid wood floor style plank tiles.  You can see that project here.

Now, back to the shelving that was built for his TV and gaming stuff. We started from the bottom and worked our way up.  We measured everything he wanted on the shelf, where he wanted it on the shelves and made adjustments as we worked.

Oh, I almost forgot.  We added a faux brick wall behind the shelves and painted it white.  We love the dimension that it added once the project was complete.

So happy with how it turned out.

I need a wide angle lens to take better images of the "after" but I haven't gotten one yet so bear with me on these final images.

We have a cord protector that we will paint white to hide all of the component cords.

Eventually, we will hang the fire helmets on either side of his television, we just haven't found the right hooks yet.

Love them.  So glad we did this project.  All of his stuff looks organized and "clean" against the white wall.

This entire project, including the faux brick wall, took us two full days / evenings to complete. Not bad at all.

I get asked all the time if Plaster Paint can be sprayed through a paint sprayer aannnnndddd the answer is YES!  Here are a few projects that we've done using PP and our trusty HomeRight Finish Max sprayer.

Sorry about the picture quality -- camera on phone is no bueno!  This round table was painted with Plaster Paint in Paris then we hand painted this round typography on top.  This project was literally done in an evening.  The base coat, distressing, glazing then the typography and finally sealed with liquid wax all in about 5 hours!  No way would I have gotten it done in one night with a trusty chip brush!

You can read about this gentlemen's chest makeover here.  This piece has sold.

We painted this entire armoire with Plaster Paint in Black Tie with our sprayer and was done in an hour!  You can see the full transformation here.

Eddie built this from an image he had in his head, in a weekend I might add -- I'll never get tired of singing his praises!  Again, super quick paint job with Plaster Paint and our HVLP sprayer.  Read more about this project here.

We've done many more projects with our sprayer and LOVE IT!  Obviously, we don't use it on small projects but for the large ones -- it's totally worth it!

We do mix our paint with a thinner because we feel that the overall finished look is smoother and it makes our paint go further. However, we've heard from others who don't dilute their paint at all and they don't seem to have any trouble.  To dilute or not to dilute...it's a personal preference!

We are in the process of updating our Plaster Paint page so in the meantime if you have any questions or would like to order, please email us at threemangoseeds@yahoo.com.
