Color is Cape Hatteras Sand by Benjamin Moore

Photos taken after the first coat. I still have a lot of touch-up work to do.


Well, my goal was to have the kitchen painted by the time we went to the Hessler Street fair this Saturday...and I met that goal! I began the following Monday after Mother's Day working to prepare the kitchen to be painted. That work included:

1. repairing damage from the electrican's work.
2. Spackling low areas in the wall & removing high areas lightly sanding
3. Sanding up the doorway trims to remove paint drips & slops, scraping peeling paint, applying peel stop, then wood putty in areas to be sanded.

Liam caulked the trims & baseboards.

Then, everything was sanded & then primed.

4. I stippled the ceiling. Liam helped paint the ceiling.

NEW RUG...

I'm very happy with this rug I won on eBay for $39 with free shipping. If you're from Cleveland, you would call this a "Marc's bargain!"...

No bungee cords, flashing hazards, 20 mph, flippin' birds, or honking necessary. It arrived quickly!

There are a lot of great rug deals to be had on there...antique and new-one of the advantages of this economy.

Finished Entryway!

The painting in our side entryway/mini foyer is just about finished. Here are some photos of the completed work. Liam is about to install the closet door. I have possibly 1 more coat to do on the red entry door.
