Painting Fumes.....

We had high hopes of getting two bedrooms and the bathroom painted last weekend. We learned that painting and old house is harder than it looks! It took us Friday night and all day Saturday to get the walls prepped and ready to go. It involved lots of scrapping, filling and sanding. On Sunday we got the ceilings done and the base coat done in the bathroom and one of the bedrooms. We choose a color called oatbran for the hallway and a color called willow wind in the bedroom. We will keep working on it at the end of this week and hopefully have them finished by the end of the time the weekend rolls around! Jon is also working on making us a mirror for the bathroom because the original was very floral and totally not our style...I think you will be able to see the mirror about half painted in the pictures.

Here are some pictures after prepping but before painting.....



And here are some pictures with the base coats of color.....
