Painting the House






I am painting the rooms in my house. I will add pictures later today, when I get done taking them. I have primed the front bedroom, and painted the ceiling. I will begin painting the walls today. I also primed the bathroom, adding a texture additive to the oil based primer. I used oil based primer in the bathroom because of the past problems with mold (caused by no exhaust fan) and other dirt/smells. I do not ever want to work with oil based paint/primer again, it is just so much more difficult than the latex/water based primer/paints.

My brother in law has begun laying the tile in the quilt studio, and hopes to have it done this week. Given that Thanksgiving is Thursday, and he and my sister will be out of town, I will not hold him to that timeline. Since I have to work over the holiday, I plan to continue working on the house as well.

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, and I really don't think it is another train.

Older home, repainting the rooms. I hope the color works out the way I envision it.

You have been super busy! When do you hope to be able to move in and start enjoying it? Everything will be so new and fresh for you.

My goal is to be in by 12/19. I have been working like crazy trying to get the rest of the rooms ready to prime and paint. I should have the ceilings done by next week.

It looks like you are making great progress. Just think of how nice it will be when it is finished.
