finish painting my house

at one point, I wasn’t paying attention, and when I looked up, my kitty was standing on the window sill that was covered in mold-resistant primer. YIKES! Of course he ran off and put little white primer prints on the carpet, and then I had to tackle him down and wash his feet off (it was traumatizing for both of us).

So I should add, keep the door closed if you have pets.

The color for the bedroom was a bit more…pastel, shall we say…than we thought it was going to be. We might paint over it at some point. The closet doors still need painting, as well as hte landing ceiling, but the main job has been done, as the bedroom was the last room remaining, and since we sacrified an entire saturday to do this, I’m rewarding myself by marking this as done.

My husband has gotten the motivation to finish it this weekend so we can get the paint out of garage before it freezes.

I’m not thrilled about losing my weekend in this way, but it will be a good thing.

It was so frustrating to have finished our kitchen and then have them come in and redry wall, putting huge white patches all over the walls. I was going to work outside today, but we got a freak snowstorm so I’m forced to do inside projects. It looks really great and took no time at all. The key was just staying in my pajamas so I felt motivated to quick do it before I took a shower.

We just have one bathroom and the bedroom left…we have to wait for spring though so we can get the walls dried out from this long winter and have some windows open for ventilation. Overall, we should be able to move the paint cans out of the kitchen before the summer is over.

by a delayed heating project (not our fault, the associations) and they just finally put up drywall over the holes in our walls for new electrical this past week. So we did finish painting this weekend, at least, touched up the living room and kitchen where the new wall was put up. We just have our bedroom and one bathroom left which we anticipate finishing up in the next month or two ( have the paint already at least)

in all reality, my awesome husband has taken on this daunting task. I added quite a bit of work when I tried to match our white ceilings for some touch up and it was not the same color at all. So now we have to repaint all our ceilings, too. But we have chosen all the colors, and none of them are regretful (so far). There will be more touchup in the coming weeks as they work on a heating system change in our place, but I’m hoping to have this all done by thanksgiving.
