Last month Matt showed you all how to build a decorative shelf with crown molding for our half bath. The shelf is perfect for the space and I love it.

Garden gnomes are the cute little guardian angels that watch over our homes. And sometimes they get a bit neglected.
In our case the poor fella was beaten up a bit by string trimming and the sun.
So today I’m going to share how you can fix any small holes or cracks and repaint your gnome so that it looks like new. These tips will also work with other garden decor that you’d like to repair.
Here are the supplies you need
- Hydraulic cement
- Bucket
- Margin trowel
- Gloves
- Great stuff
- Old towel
- Rust-Oleum Primer (spray)
- Hobby paint brushes
- Valspar paint samples
- Rust-Oleum Clear Coat (spray)
