Today we got into some painting. All that prep and we’re now ready to put some color on those walls. We painted the Master Bedroom, Nursery and Eva’s Room. For those rooms we still need to get the trim done and they will be finished. We’ve also got the office, hallway and the living room to paint. Luckily the hallway and the living room do not need to be primed because We’re using Aura paint and that is self priming and really good stuff.

As the week continues so does our preparations around the house for painting. There is a whole lot more than just buying a bucket and slapping it on the walls. Painting on any wall I’ve ever done requires a ton of steps. If there was wallpaper on the walls then there are even more steps to follow. Remove Wallpaper, Wash walls, Fix holes and cracks, sand walls, re-check for cracks, re-sand, tape molding, floors etc, prime and then paint. That’s how you do it right and that’s how my Dad taught me. And that is why the walls that we paint stay looking good for years.
