The Wonderful World of Paint

Over a year ago, Dave's friend Roxanne, of Red Chair Designs came over to help me pick out paint colors for the whole house. 3 paint bids, a year later, and a lot of rassity frassity, Dave and I have just finished our 3rd room. On Roxanne's advice we used all Benjamin Moore paint. Six months ago we started with the kitchen, painting it Wedgewood Grey. We then moved to the bathroom, the smallest room in the house which took the longest due to 3 days of sanding, scraping, gas masks, possible lead paint, and puttying all of the walls. It is now the lovely shade of Georgian Green. Today, we finished the largest room of all the living room and hallway. The walls were originally urban putty, not a bad color, they just needed some freshening up. We went a few shades darker to a creamy chocolate milk. Thanks to Roxanne we love all the colors. I am just happy to be done with 3 days of prep and painting. Dave was paint the ceiling and walls guy, and I was trim and doors girl. We make a good team. Makes for a tired girl. 22 hours of work total, makes those quotes we got look not so bad.
