Built-in Facelift

Kelly was gone to a wedding in St. Louis this last weekend.  I thought I would try to surprise her by giving the built-in in our dining room a facelift.  I must say I thought this would be a daunting task, honestly, it was a lot of work, but very simple today.  There is no need for fancy kits to do this stuff.  A little research and time and you can get this stuff done on the cheap!

Materials:

Bottle of Totally Awesome @dollartree
120grit sandpaper
A few foam paint rollers
