color on the walls
Written on April 21, 2008 by eric
The weekend started out frustratingly slowly. In spite of Tracy, Alex, and Charles coming by to help, just about all we got done on Saturday was getting the patches on the dining room walls sanded down and some plastic drop cloths and masking tape put up in preparation for painting. Tracy had the big success of the day: getting the last of the painted-shut windows to finally open.
We were able to get more done on Sunday. Sonya and Robert stopped by and helped put a coat of paint on the dining room walls and another coat on the ceiling:
We then moved on to putting a coat of paint in the kitchen, which turned out kind of scary:
The ceiling is really still white, not green! It must be a reflection in the picture. Anyway, the walls look better on the parts that got more paint on them, so we hope that another coat or two will make the whole thing look nice. If not, we can try a different shade.
As it got dark, we had time to get in one more coat on the dining room walls and ceiling. We will still need to do another pass around the woodwork to get the edges neat, but hopefully this takes care of the big surfaces.
In other news, the tile is almost all done in the bathroom, and it’s looking nice:

That bathroom is chock full of awesome! Don’t’ feel bad about the slow progress in the dining room - all that sanding and taping is prep and it is a non-insignificant part of the process.
No no no, that should read “because [we] all came by to ‘help’, there was no progress.” And those are some very vivid colors. Are you sure that isn’t photoshop or something?
