Slowly, But Surely

I strongly dislike painting.

But I dislike having my furniture in the middle of the room even more, so we are motivated to just get this job DONE!


Step 1:  Move furniture to middle of room.

Step 2:  Repair walls, clean walls, tape off trim.

Step 3:  Paint the edges and corners of walls with primer.

Step 3:  Prime walls.


  • Let primer dry.  
  • The next day/night, repeat edging and painting with first coat of paint.
  • Drink wine.
  • The day after that, repeat again with second coat of paint.
  • Drink wine.


 This is what you will end up with!



Let the paint dry before putting everything back! 

Can't wait to be done!

Drink wine to celebrate being finished!

  1. Looking good. Haven't forgotten to send your girls our little parcel. Just got a bit held up with localised flooding then start of school. But we are on to it (this time!)
    Thanks for your patience

  2. Looks great! I love painting, but I don't like wall-washing or moving everything around. But once everything is set up, I love it! I'll be doing that too, in the next few months!
