Raining here today, so I'm going to clean all the cupboards out and paint.
The painting frenzy is in full swing..
Need more paint.

Morning kids. I used to enjoy painting but I think I burnt myself out after painting half the house after I moved in.

Painting, oh vay. My friend just moved into a new house and her and her boyfriend did the painting and they SUCK at it. Ever hear of TAPE, people? And if you can't find the ladder to tape the ceiling - DON'T PAINT. And baseboards? If you get paint on them - immediately wipe it off with a wet cloth. Going to their house is going to drive me nuts - they would have been better off leaving it builder beige.

I need to get going with some painting. (Kitchen, breakfast room and family room. I'll probably do the powder room and the laundry room, too.)

But, it's still too hot here. I will probably wait until October.

I want to go light gray and some red accent walls, this time around.

I should have Trudy find me some colors!wink

My ex was a horrible painter. Like the ones you described, LL. And he forbade me from painting so I didn't "screw things up."

I am picky about painting. I take down everything possible, I wash the walls with TSP first, then tape with precision. Then paint at least two coats - even with one coat paint. It's an ordeal - my husband tries to just let me be. He's allowed to do the center portions of large walls, but only with supervision, because he tends to think one thick coat is better than two regular coats - and that leads to drips.

LL is never invited to visit me. In one corner of my kitchen I couldn't reach the corner easily because I'm terrified of heights & will only use a step ladder. The corner is terribly botched. I got brown paint on the white crown molding & couldn't reach to wipe it so it dried.

I will pat myself on the back that my decorative accent wall is perfectly sharply edged with no bleed onto the other walls.

FWM I like the dishes. Maybe think about red paint though. I think red kitchens were about 15 years ago. I know mine was red when I bought it 10 years ago & was already starting to go out of style. But from what I've seen on HGTV grey is definitely the newest trend so maybe different shades of grey or maybe with the grey the red is still cool.

Trudy?!? Your thoughts?

Our house had a red kitchen when we bought it 10 years ago, too. And we had a red dining room at our condo, 12 years ago.

No! You misunderstood. I want mostly light gray.

Just a couple of accent walls in red.smile

I couldn't picture a totally red room.

The house we bought in 2005 had a red dining room. It still does, actually, but I don't live there, anymore.

This was our dining room at the condo.  Note:  This color was painted before we bought the condo, and we just kept it.

I like the Winter Solstice.

They show it with the Trout Gray and Sundried Tomato, which looks like a nice combination, to me.

I hate painting but I love the results and changing things up so I muddle through it.

Otherwise, just another day in the life.

I love painting, or I did.

It was my therapy.

Still love painting smaller things now.

I had my pre-op appointment this morning. One of the forms amused me. I had to initial twice on the same form acknowledging that I will be sterile. I know they're covering their butts. I just found it amusing that I needed to acknowledge the same thing twice on the same piece of paper.

I want to paint. Our whole house is done in what I think of a "muted desert" shades, kind of reddish Browns except the entryway which is the greyest shade of grey possible. I really want to change the grey color.
I prefer a yellow tone in the living room.
But all the drywall on our ceilings is falling apart, so we have to take care of that before we paint.
We'll probably have to pay someone to repair the drywall, it's going to be a big job.

Tang you might want to check your roof. I've never heard of drywall on the ceiling falling apart. All that comes to mind is water damage.

 When I do mortgage closings these days, I have to tell the borrower at least 4 times if they don't pay, they will get foreclosed on.  And yes, they have to acknowledge it twice on one piece of paper.

 I'm not sure I'd "hope" plaster - getting that fixed is difficult, unless you tear it all down and replace with drywall, which will be a MESS.

So, it's fall here, and I can't find my black boots. That means I have to go shopping right?
