setbacks and great strides
The dining room is coming along nicely, and may (Lord willing) be ready for Christmas Eve festivities. yippeee!!
We had a Problem, Houston, a week ago though. After applying a coat of primer to every surface, D found that I had bought NON-PAINTABLE-CAULK for the seams. ARRRRRRRGHAREUGH! Much banging of head against wall and self-flagellation ensued as D had to scrape alllll of it off. Grr. I had no idea there was such an animal as non-paintable frakkin caulk. Wherefore wouldst thou make non-paintable-caulk? I ask you. Don't tell me, really.
After a 3-day setback, we have finished priming, painting the ceiling, and one coat of trim color as well. The challenge will be cutting in and painting the orange and blue, but it will cover so nicely and set the room off so well. Here are some pics:
the colors are ready for their debut!
