ambitious renovations

Why do I do this to myself? It is so much easier to paint a room when there is nothing in it and no floor to worry about messing up with paint drops...soooooo I decided that now was a great time to paint the office. The color in there was fine but it was pretty dark and I have always intended to paint it the same color as our bedroom, a very soft butter color. My half day at work today made it possible to get in 2 full coat! Some shots so you can see the progress...First is Dominic last night getting those tack strips up...nails in concrete is a tough job (please notice the old paint color)

Primer always goes fast because it doesn't need to be perfect, can you see the room is already lighter?

the other side of the room

Once Dominic got home and saw my technique he was laughing...I make a mess when I paint and this technique allows for the easiest clean up.

Here is the finished color...hard to tell it's not white because it's so dark outside

It's a bit easier to see it with the white closet doors.My wonderful hubby cleaning up the paintbrushes.

Whew..thank goodness that's done! Well really I need one more quick coat tomorrow or friday but I'm on call tomorrow and inductions make for unpredictability, as does this change in weather that's coming...uhhh what have I started??
