Project #3

The next project was pretty straightforward - paint the living room.

Of course, I actually decided to start on a whim, which made it more work than it needed to be. I bought the paint Saturday morning and started cleaning out the room. Removing the furniture, pictures, and outlet covers took about three hours before we could start to paint.

I painted the ceiling while Wanda painted the trim. By that point, we were exhausted, so we stopped for the day.

On Sunday, we finished the trim, did a second coat, and started on the walls. We got two coats of primer and 1/2 a coat of paint done.

On Monday, I finished the coat of paint and did a second coat, then did another coat of trim and touched up the ceiling. I finished painting at 4:20.

The Pathfinders arrived for our meeting at 6:30.


It's very green. Maybe a little too green.


I may end up painting above the fireplace the same colour as the trim.

Of course, first there's project #4 to deal with.

  1. I think you could use that wall as a background to make videos. Our living room walls desperately need painting, but my husband, the one who would do the painting, is loathe to do it.

    1. It's very green! I've changed out a bunch of the picture frames to white ones, which helps.
