Painting today. There's something therapeutic about choosing a color and painting a room with a fresh coat. We picked baby-blue for the master bedroom. Actually, I think the official name is ocean blue. Seems appropriate since we're so close to the ocean. All we need now is a painting of Crystal Cove to hang on the wall there. ••• continued ••• Thought one coat would do it, but it needed another. Had to motor back to Home Depot for a second gallon. I have some experience painting. My dad owned apartment buildings when I was a kid. I used to help him remodel on his days off. I can still hear my ol' man saying, "It would be nice if you got more paint on the walls than on the floor." =) [I used to employ the heavy sling-it method.] Painting is all about preparation. After you tape everything up, and trim the borders, the rest is cake. I'm a terror with that roller. It came out really nice, especially after the second coat dried. Didn't get a drop on the floor, either. Pops would be proud. The living room is next. How does mint-green sound? Or maybe sage? |
