Painting is Finshed - or is it?





Well - we thought it was finished - but it isn't!
I had full intentions on helping Justin paint the room….we even bought me masks to wear while painting. I went shopping with two of my friends on Saturday morning to come back to the nursery being completely painted!
Not only was the room painted but Justin had cleaned both showers, the oven and the BBQ pit! I was impressed! I am so blessed to have such a hard working husband!
We let the pain dry and inspected it. We found that where the walls meet the ceiling there is just a little bit of yellow that we can see. The last time we painted that room we didn’t tape it as well as we did this time so the line was not very neat.
Sunday Justin tried to fix it with the trimmer tool but that did not work out well. White ended up getting onto the blue too much on the walls AND the white we thought matched didn’t!! Of course because of this we had to repaint the WHOLE ceiling. Although Justin was frustrated – he did an awesome job getting that done quickly.
Now we just need to re-tape around the ceiling and then we will paint the top of the walls again.
Lesson learned – we should have painted around the edge of the ceiling even on to part of the walls before taping them off to be sure we would cover all the old color. OH - also to make sure the paint matches before we start painting ceilings!
