painting, painting…

i was pretty ambitious yesterday.  i painted the upstairs hallway in the morning.  it went fairly quickly though it needed two coats to cover the ugly mustard yellow that the previous owners left.

when i was finished with that, i decided to tackle the kitchen as well since i was done with the hallway by 10.  this was much more labor intensive.  with the windows, doorways, cabinets and tile, i had a lot of taping and cutting in to do.  the kitchen was like a dark pumpkin color so it took 2 heavy coats to cover it.  the people that painted the kitchen before me were very sloppy.  i also noticed that the kitchen had been at different times a forest green color and a hot pink color.  weird color choices!

anyway…i’m happy to have those two spots painted.  i need to paint the formal living room, thomas’ room and the downstairs bathroom (which is tiny) and then i’m done with the house!
