HomeRight Paint Sprayer Review & Video

Yay!  I finally have a review for you of the HomeRight Paint Sprayer.
I've had several requests for the review, but I wanted to give you a demonstration
 as well, it was so hard to stop painting to take photos while I was working on my
 kitchen cabinets, so I engaged the help of my brother to make a video. He's in the
 process of doing a makeover on his garage and I knew he'd love it for his cabinets,
 as much as I did!

 HomeRight Finsh Max Pro Fine Finish Sprayer

He's a perfectionist to the max and I felt 100% confident he'd be happy with the sprayer!
  I was right!

*** This video is my first and is SO B-A-D!!
I apologize, but it gets the point across - that this sprayer is super EASY to use!
Unfortunately, we only had so many takes before running out of cabinet doors
 to paint. So I went with one, but will replace it when I get to use the sprayer on
a piece of furniture soon.
(Sorry, I didn't even know to hold the phone in landscape view and it would have been a good
idea to practice what I was going to tell you!)  



Take a look at this great finish!

I think the video and these photos of the painted cabinet doors speak for themselves.
The HomeRight Finish Max Sprayer couldn't be easier to use and delivers a top-notch
professional finish. As far as cleaning, I'd say it takes about the same amount of time to
clean a paint brush, you run water through the sprayer until it comes out clear, and
use a small brush on some of the smaller attachments. It easily comes apart for cleaning.

The proper prep of your cabinets is essential, these were sanded and primed before
spraying with two coats of Benjamin Moore Advance Water Based Alkyd Enamel
color matched to Behr's Dark Ash 770F-5

Bottom line...I highly recommend the 

HomeRight Max Pro Fine Finish Sprayer!

 I was provided the HomeRight Finish Max Pro Sprayer, but all opinions are 100% mine.

a fun friend and favorite 5...

Hope you all enjoyed a fabulous weekend! We spent a fun night with friends

 watching our Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. Actually, the guys watch 

baseball, and the girls catch up and join in for 'Take Me Out to the Ballgame.'  I have

 no idea what the score was or who is on our team, but it's the perfect summer outing!

pretty peony vignettes

I think my peonies are the last to bloom on the planet!

They're just now opening and I've been dying to bring them in and style a pretty

vignette. We might need to replant them to a sunnier location, they've just never

done great, and I'm always so envious of other gardeners whose are spilling over and

 thriving. I found some pretty inspiration to tide me over...

Do you have peonies or any gardening tips for growing them?

client update...

Happy Monday! :)

Do you remember my client with the 80's tract home, we did a kitchen makeover

awhile back. Her living and family rooms were on our list too, but once again life got

 in the way. We're finally back on track and they are thisclose to being finished. I thought

 you might like a peek at our progress and plan for what's left to do.

Does this refresh your memory? This is where we started before taking out every other
 spindle in the staircase and giving it a good dose of white paint. 

Her living room is so small we decided the best use would be a library/sitting room, and
we'd ditch the bulky sofa. Ikea's Billy Bookcases were used to create interest on this huge
 two story wall and draw your eye up. Molding detail will be added to the top and some
 pretty statement hardware on the center cabinet doors for a more custom look. The narrow
 profile worked perfectly with the size of the room. We have a collection of accessories pulled
 out for styling when the time comes, can you tell we're chomping at the bit?  

Still to come - both chairs need new upholstery. The cane barrel chair was a thrifting
 steal, the gold side table will be moved to the family room, a new window seat cushion,

drapes and pillows. The paper on the back of the bookcase isn't a good match for the wall

 color, I'm thinking a black and white marble pattern would be so good for a little edge. 

She picked up this great console table for $15, we removed a bottom shelf in order to

accommodate a bench or two tucked underneath, this one may be a contender. The
 mirror and pair of bamboo lamps are keepers.

The family room is adjacent to the living room, just separated by the staircase.

 She had the pretty wing back, we added the jute rug, a huge mirror above the fireplace,

and the slipcovered sofa. We're using a pair of side tables in front of the sofa. 

These were another Craigslist deal, we loved the bamboo detail, they'll get a coat of high

 gloss black paint. We're still searching for a second side table, and drapes are ready to hang.

This mammoth 80's armoire is being replaced by the stylish piece on the left

 (another Craigslist find) and a streamlined flat screen tv. It will house all the components, 

and we're thinking it might need a paint job, too.

Of course, we need some great pillows, books for the bookcase and a few accessories,
but we're on a roll.

This is her kitchen that is open the family room,
you can check out more of the makeover here.

It's such a fun project, she has incredible taste and is a Craigslist and thrifting pro,
in addition to being a delight to work with.
 Thank you again for letting me share your home, Lori!
