Don’t you just want to get to work on some Easter baskets right now?

Home Depot caries the largest selection of CIL Woodcare stains, including an exclusive range of super-premium stains: CIL Woodcare Distinction™, Canadian Wood Oil, and Fine Wood Finish all with distinct colours, features, and impressive warranties (satisfaction guaranteed for as long as you own your home!).I started out by staining the smaller pieces, like the pieces for the storage trays we built first.

Smaller projects can sometimes take longer to stain than bigger projects because of all the little corners to get into, so getting this out of the way made me feel like I just flew through the rest of the staining process!.I actually kept the inner dividers for the tray disassembled so that I could sort of speed through those parts too.One little tip that I love is to use inexpensive non-stick baking sheets to stain on instead of newspapers or cardboard.

Keep them only for painting and staining obviously!🙂 This really does help keep your stained and painted pieces from getting stuck down, like they sometimes do on newspapers and they really help keep the whole work area super tidy!.

Next I stained the lower shelf, the legs, and the skirting..

If you were wondering what that floating red object is in the background, it’s the zip line tied up to the deck on the playhouse.and gave them a good wipe down to get them nice and clean.

Mine were actually a bit crusty and rusty too but you’ll see that it didn’t matter at all.I like rubbing alcohol because it does a great job of cleaning but evaporates quickly so you can get to painting right away.. Painting the Vent Covers.

It’s painting time!I used Krylon satin finish spray paint in.
