Time to paint another room!

Got my "home office" cleared out and will go in there tomorrow morning and lay down the drop cloths and remove the window blinds. I have a few primer sags that I'll have to sand down in the morning. Then it'll be ready to paint! I have to pick up my helper at 11:00 so that we can get started. :D

I cut up some cereal boxes and will tape those pieces to the dropcloth to protect the carpet. Another experiment on my part. I wasn't thrilled with how I handled that interface in the guest room. We'll see how it goes this time.

I put my computer into the guest bedroom, which is now that pale powder blue color. While sitting in here typing, a nice breeze has been blowing through. Hadn't realized how comfortable this little room turned out to be! Sweet!

With each room, I'm learning more and more. Heck, I bet that by the time I get the living room and kitchen finished, I'll actually be capable of painting a boat! :D LOL!

Got it painted!

I removed EVERYTHING from the office, then I stapled the cut cereal box strips into the carpet along the baseboard at the carpet interface. After that, I taped the plastic dropcloth to the cardboard. Worked like a charm!

My helper and I got the ceiling and walls painted today. The color is "Almond Cream" and really does look like somebody put some almonds and whole cream into a blender. LOL!

I'm thinking that I'll keep everything out of the office even after the trimwork is done, so that I can use it as a staging area for furniture from the other rooms while I'm painting them. Makes it really convenient.

Tomorrow is Cindo de Mayo, a huge day for me, so I won't be doing the trimwork until later this week.

Well, I got the office 99% done (still have to do trimwork around one door) but then started using it as a staging area for stuff from the master bedroom. Now it's full up, but should be emptied back out by this weekend.

And I did start painting the master bedroom this afternoon. Going well!
