I finally finished my dog food storage container. I was inspired by the plans over at Addicted 2 DIY http://addicted2diy.com/2015/07/31/diy-dog-food-station-with-storage/ along with plans at Build Something.com. Although I really liked the one at Addicted 2 DIY, I felt it need a bit more for my taste. Using the one at Build Something as my inspiration, I was able to modify the plans from Addicted 2 DIY to come up with mine.
I finished the bottom using Rust-Oleum Chalked paint in Charcoal and Chalked Protective Topcoat in matte clear.
This was my first experience with this line of Rust-Oleum and it will not be my last! I love that one coat of the Chalked Charcoal was all I need do, no priming needed. The coverage was smooth and even. Even though applied with a brush, I saw no brush strokes when dried. One note though, I am glad I read the directions because shaking the container is not recommended. The matte clear finish goes on creamy but dries clear, protects your build and leaves a nice smooth finish when dry. Again I only used one coat and did not sanded between the painting and applying the protective topcoat.
For the top I used Rust-Oleum Varathane Fast Drying Stain in Gunstock. I absolutely love the color!!!
Varathane is a fast drying stain and a bit thicker than other stains I have used. The application was very easy. I applied using a rag, the coverage was smooth and even. I will be trying more colors, in fact the line even includes reds, blues and oranges. I finished with 2 coats of a satin poly I had.
The dog and cats love it.
I love how it blends in with the house.
As a fan of Rust-oleum Painter's Touch Ultra Coverage 2x Spray Paint, I am glad I was given the opportunity to try other products by them. Having never before used any brand of chalk paint, I was completely surprised by it. I love how there is really no need to prime before painting. The coverage is even and the finish is beautiful, even without the protective topcoat(although I recommended using it). The Varathane stain was a breeze to use. The coverage was even and beautiful. And like the name says, it really did dry quick. Another plus I did not notice an odor, like I have with other stains.
Another great thing about Rust-oleum is Creators's Studio, This online community is one of a kind. What makes this site different from others, is the interaction with the Rust-oleum moderators (who are great), the online polls, the challenges and rewards. This is site is full of wonderful people of all levels of DIY'ing. I have found the interaction between members to be really great. I think if you are even slightly interested in DIY you need to sign up (which is FREE).

ReplyDeleteI love the practicality of wood dog feeders—they’re not just functional but also a sustainable option. Wood is naturally long-lasting and much more durable than flimsy plastic alternatives, standing up to even the most enthusiastic eaters. Many designs include elevated options, which are great for promoting better digestion in dogs. On top of that, wooden feeders can be personalized or hand-crafted, giving them a unique touch that makes them perfect for any home setting. Choosing a wood feeder is a win-win for style and your dog's well-being.
