So this weekend we had nothing planned...well I had some ideas planned, but I don't know if it was what the rest of the family was interested in doing. My idea included staying close to home as a family and work on some projects around the house and spend some quality time as a family. J is scheduled to leave on a "trip" at the end of the month and spending time together becomes way more important then the social calendar and projects around the house are easier when both of us are here to divide and conquer. So Saturday we did all the running around that we needed to to have the supplies. Remember that post with my lil' Picasso...that wall needed a little paint, some wonderful semi-gloss paint that I can scrub on and get all the dirty boy marks off.
Some nasty boogers from Diesel when he and his eye problem.
Some "drawings" from my lil Picasso. You can see that I tried rubbing it off with my coveted Mr Clean Eraser, but after going through one whole giant size one and getting hardly any off I knew only paint would help!
He took his commission very seriously and got all but one wall...and Diesel claimed that one with his eye rubbing.
I used the Frog tape for all the masking off...I think we have used all of them out there and LOVE the Frog brand the best. I am not that talented to be able to paint without getting anything on the existing trim, I even mask the ceiling line since I was doing a semi-gloss. I think it takes less time overall and a neater job in the end if I spend the extra time and money to tape everything. In all I was able to tape, prime and paint all in one day for the upstairs hallway.
So these are the before pictures...stay tuned for the afters!
