Where I work a magnetic glass board and more.

A couple of weeks back, I painted a glass board in my office with both magnetic paint and colour paint, so now I've got myself an elegant pants office magnetic glass board! Amazing, best!? I've wanted to alter my office for some time, and lastly, it struck me precisely what I desired. So I picked up Rust-oleum magnetic primer and a large piece of glass board and triggered to work!

The magnetic paint was kind of a hassle. I most likely would not use it ever again. It was insanely difficult to blend. All the magnetic particles or whatever were simply in a strong three-inch glob at the bottom. My arms were really sore from mixing this things. (If you choose some up in your area ask someone in the paint department to throw it in the mixing maker for you genuine fast to make it a bit easier!) On top of that, it took two full cans and what felt like a billion coats to even get it from another location magnetic. I'm really happy I didn't choose to paint an even larger location than this, that would have been crazy.

Let's discuss just how much the magnetic primer stinks! I had all my windows open, the fan running, taking all the precautions I 'd generally take when painting. A few hours after I was done painting, I started smelling gas. I called the gas company and started a tiny flip out. I got all four cats, put them in 3 carriers and shoved them in my car. Then ran back in the house, grabbed a lot of things that were unique to me and pulled my automobile out into the roadway and waited for the gas business to get here. Almost an hour later on the man shows up, and I take him into your house. Long story short, he didn't smell anything, his maker couldn't discover any gas, and he asked if I 'd be painting. How embarrassing!! I'm not 100% sure why it took so long for the odor to get to me especially due to the fact that it never ever actually smelled in the space I was painting however after I began painting again with the second can I recognized this things does sort of odor like gas.

Anyway, back to my little project. The next day, after that was all dry, I used the orange colour paint on the glass board, which was a breeze compared to the magnetic things. I painted 2 coats and waited on a few days before "conditioning" it (which is just rubbing down the entire thing in chalk, so it's easier to eliminate.) Easy peasy! I like how it does not really look like I painted the glass board itself however hung a big piece of a coloured magnetic whiteboard.

Regardless of being a little bit of pain in the butt, I'm extremely pleased with how this turned out even if I need to utilize very strong magnets and everything is now covered in a fine layer of chalk dust. Ha! I would not advise using the magnetic guide if you're looking for something simple, inexpensive or really strong but the coloured glass board paint is fantastic. It's incredibly cool to be able to compose on a large glass board that hangs right on my wall!

In addition to that little task, I also cleaned out the closet in this space that was home to lots of random things, many of which now are at the charity. With that closet clean, I had the ability to move one of my clothes racks in there, which freed up a ton of space and made the room SO much brighter. I stacked my shoe racks, so they used up less floor area and moved in a table for succulents. I'm so happy with this room now. It's amazing just how much of a distinction little changes to the office like that can make.

I enjoy this little office of mine, but next time I will use a professional company to make me amagnetic glass board!
