Paint is done!

Instead of doing tile last weekend like we wanted to do, we ended up spending all day Sunday taping and prepping to paint, and then 9 hours Monday painting our entire house - all three floors - except the two garages. We couldn't haul all of the tile up at once, and the paint was delivered and therefore already at our house, so we changed our plans to work with what we had. Since Curt used a sprayer, it was easier to paint everything the same color, including the ceilings, which is why we ordered 75 gallons. We used about 50 gallons (paint and primer were combined which saved us a lot of trouble). Three of us followed Curt around with rollers and brushes to touch up spots and make sure there were no drips. It was a long, messy, but very exciting day. A little nerve-wracking about the color, but there's no going back now! We will probably add different colors on a few walls down the road but I'm in no rush to blow paint out my nose again anytime soon. Now that the walls are painted, this weekend we can put in our kitchen cabinets that were assembled two weekends ago! And hang a few more lights. Hopefully lay some tile too.


Saturday, we taped all the windows, doors and exposed wood and steel beams (this is in our master bathroom looking into the bedroom)




Sunday, paint was sprayed. LOTS of paint. 
Hello, Roman Plaster. Please look good!

  1. Wow, the progress is so much more visible now! That is my favorite time in a renovation (or, in your case, construction), when all of the invisible hard work starts to really pay off. We need to see more photos!!!

  2. Thanks Tanja! I hope now that some of the photos make more sense. Before, it was just a maze of wood and impossible to tell room from room.
