It’s one of those processes that are deeper than you expect, perhaps. How satisfying to go through that first phase of tearing down. But I guess after hauling down surprisingly heavy particle board pieces down a few flights of stairs for an hour and a half? You figure, hey self, that’s pretty good progress on the project. Time to put it away for a while. Not possible though, since it’s one of those projects that make you feel it if it stays unfinished. Clothes all over the place and such. On I went.
After sanding down the spackling, doing some priming.
Priming
Moving to the trim.
Trim painting
Finishing up the baseboard trim–great to have the sun come in through the cracked window, winter breezes.
Baseboard trim with welcome sun
After a Home Depot run, cutting out with a color called Sparkling Spring, and then rolling out (always so satisfying). Ran a bit lighter than expected, but has the right tones when fully dried. Sometimes blueish, than greenish than whitish.
Cutting with Sparkling Spring and a borrowed ladder
Finished with the painting!
