The Project

If you guessed painting from the hint on our previous post… then you’re absolutely right! :) Yes, we’ve been painting like crazy around the house haha! For lack of better things to do I guess : ) but tough job as it is… we had fun! And the outcome is just a great feat! Choosing the right color is the tricky part, you’ll never know which ones would look good until you actually apply them… good thing at home depot they sell paint samplers for $3.99. I know it’s not cheap! But it’s better than not trying it before buying a gallon and then finding out that it’s not the right color… there is no return/exchange in paints! :)

so here we are at home depot… trying to pick the right color :)

Actually, the hard part falls under putting in the painter’s tape around the edges… window frames… cabinets… ceiling… and all parts in that room that you do not want paint to touch. Painting itself is not that bad, sure your arms will get tired occasionally but you don’t really mind it that much because you get to see the room slowly transform into what you hoped it to be. But the painter’s tape part is just tedious to do that while doing so would make you feel like shouting and say… I want to paint already! At least that’s how we feel. Hahaha!

NO! You do NOT want to skip the painter’s tape part… grueling as it may sound, it’s very important and a must to do if you don’t want paint mishaps all over the place. :)

Our favorite part of this project is to peel off the painter’s tape… yes, really! Because it’s finally done! And you’ll get to see the finish product and it makes you feel great especially if it turned out good! :)

ta-da!

First floor done… moving on to the next level! : )
