White Walls

This story started 10 days ago with what was to be a simple two day painting project of the entryway. I should have known better. After all, there was no way I could prime and paint in only two days! Our entry has two paneled walls and a really high ceiling…

After 5 coats of primer, a really TALL ladder, breathing paint fumes, and a whole lot  more than two days of painting; it was finally done!

Thankfully Will was there to help with the stirring!

 

It was really high up there!

It was the wall over the downstairs steps that was the hardest! There was just one little section that I just couldn’t reach…

But Andy and I came up with a solution involving duct tape, a yard stick and a paintbrush!

It did the trick!

After the entryway looked all clean and white, the downstairs hallway looked horrible and dingy. So I repainted it while everything was still out and I was still in the mood.

      As you can tell, it really needed paining… and the hallway was WORSE!

I also painted the doorway to the kitchen. Our dinner bell is pretty tough on the paint job! So to protect my fresh new paint, I laminated a fun piece of scrapbooking paper to put behind it.

I also put the coordinating sheet of paper in a frame for the other side.

   The painting was done but I wish the story ended here…
