Painting begins...

Ah, the joys of painting an entire house. It seems a lot bigger when you have to paint every square inch....THREE times! I think Joe said there was 6500 sq ft of walls and ceilings (the whole house is only 2200 sq ft of living space). We sprayed and then back rolled the primer. That took about 7 or 8 hours. Then we started the ceilings that night with the first coat of paint. The next day, we finished the first coat on the ceilings and went back for the second coat. And finally, by Sunday afternoon....we started the color on the walls. That's the fun part....well, ok, maybe not "fun"...but interesting! We got a first coat on the laundry room and the walk-in closet. They're two of the smaller rooms (walk-in - 9x10 ft; laundry- 8x10 ft) so it was a good place to start. Now onto the photos.... :)

Kitchen:



Master Bedroom (ask Joe how much fun it is to paint vaulted ceilings!):





Master Walk-In Closet:




Sorry for the darkness of the photos. It was pretty late before I had a chance to grab the camera and take some photos. The color in the walk-in closet is actually a grayish blue-green, if that makes sense. The paint was still wet when I took the photo (and that's only one coat).

We'll finish painting this weekend. So LOTS of photos after this weekend!
