Operation Redecorate -- Midpoint

Taking a quick break during Operation Redecorate. So far the walls have been primered, and the first coat of yellow has been applied. We've spent waaaaaaay to much time sitting around waiting for paint to dry. We should have papered the entryway as well -- we have loads of time.


The room before we started -- notice the walls, bare from wallpaper removal.


A little primer starts to even things out so it all looks more livable.


The first coat of yellow, with C and husband R.


Single Sharon was on time, but all the happy little families were an HOUR late this morning. C. and company arrived first, with B. and company on their heels. Thought we would never get started!!

So far we've only made two runs to the hardware store. One run for an extra roller brush and rollers. (COST: $32) The other run was for crown and floor molding, which I hadn't planned on but everyone else wanted. And switchplate covers, and a few other little things. (COST: $101)

This is getting to be expensive. I wish the pizza would get here. C. bought donuts and cinnamon rolls, but we can only eat so much sugar!

Need to get back to work. C. and B. are prepping the stripes, which will be a darker yellow than the wall's first coat.
