Nothing very exciting to say today. We spent the whole day painting! Last night we went to the house and cleaned the kitchen/lounge walls and ceiling with sugar soap.
We filled all the holes in walls too. So today we painted the kitchen and lounge. It took us ages to tape around all the doors, windows, light switches and sockets.
We then covered the whole room in plastic sheets – it looked like a scene from Dexter!
We had quite a good system of painting. James rollered the ceiling while I painted the walls with a paint pad. We finished the first coat at 1.30pm so went back to the rented house for some lunch while it dried.
We then did the second coat. The colour is a couple of shades lighter than the previous colour. As paint is very expensive James warned me that whatever colour I chose would be the one we had!
Luckily it’s quite neutral. It looks good after the second coat – nice and clean and a bit brighter.
Tomorrow we’re aiming to paint the two spare bedrooms but we’ll start a bit later as we have to walk the dogs first.
