Painting

We’ve finally started to put our “touch” on the house.  We started painting this weekend.  We’re stating small though.  We’re beginning with the entryway.

Yesterday, I spackled a ton of nail holes and sanded down some putty spots the previous owner never bothered to.  After taking the covers off all the switches and outlets, I primed the whole thing.  Jeanne taped off the window and started to paint trim.  Scout helped with the taping too.  Somehow I also managed to prime his tail too.  We’ll see what happens when we get to the wall color.

Today, we painted the ceiling.  Jeanne did the cut-in work, I did the rolling.  I think with the difference in color between the ceiling white and the primer, even Momma could tell where she had painted.  :)

That last picture shows three distinct colors, the wall, the primed ceiling and the painted ceiling.  It’s really funny to see the difference in the primed wall and the primed ceiling.  It’s the same primer!  Maybe it’s just the angle.  It doesn’t look the different when you are looking at it.

And no, that is not the final wall color.  Wait until you see that!  :D
