Painting is done!

23. July 2008 by admin.

Katie’s Dad just left today after being here for 5 days and helping out immensely with the kitchen project.  Its great to see how fast things go when you have another person working on things.

We spent the last 5 days mudding/taping the drywall seams with joint compound and then sanding the final layer.  Yesterday we finished priming the ceiling and walls.  Last night I finished painting the ceiling and tonight Katie and I(Tom) finished 2 coats on the walls.

We ended up using Ace Hardware paint and I’m pretty happy with it.  Its hard to get a feel for the color, but the walls are what is called “Ripe Oats” in an eggshell finish and the ceiling is just off of white with a bit of Ripe Oats mixed in to bring it all together.  I have to paint and nail the crown molding to the ceiling over the next couple days, but the really exciting thing is that our tile is in boxes in the dining room and ALL of the IKEA cabinets are being delivered tomorrow!!!  So, hopefully I can get the floor in tomorrow.
