The pink color wasn’t too bad, but it definitely made it hard come holiday decorating time, when I was limited by the pink pallet. Kind of hard to use green and red for Christmas. Although Easter decorating was a breeze with the pastel colors. So it was limiting indeed for certain times of the year.
One afternoon, while baby girl slept and Joe was out with the boys, I started taping off the edges with blue painter’s tape. I laid down my drop cloth, and grabbed my edge paint brush and starting cutting in around the edges of the trim. At this point the big wall unit was outside because I was working on it’s makeover seen here. So all the walls were free from furniture and art and that makes it sooo much easier to paint.
It went pretty smoothly, and only four hours later I was done. I used a fillable roller brush with a long handle attached so I could roll quickly and without a ladder and no need to constantly dip the roller into a pan. It’s sort of like the one seen here at Sears.
Notice these old oak chairs. They weren’t holding up so well. All but one of them had broken caning. Several had wood parts that were breaking, so we decided it was cheaper to buy Queen Anne Chairs from craiglist for now. You can see their makeover here.
