I figured the white caulk would work because we were already painting it white but after talking with my husband he said it didn't matter either way because the tube we had was paintable!
DeleteWhat a beautiful transformation!! Great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks. This was a freebie off Craigslist and I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out!
DeleteWhat a great idea! And it turned out fabulous!
