Fun with Paint

Jeff and I are in the process of painting our new condo. Our first task was to get the kitchen painted. In our other condo, we did this really nice faux paint design in the kitchen; it looks really good, so we decided to do try it in the new condo. However, the walls are slightly textured, so the idea of faux painting didn't work out so well. The bad part of that is that we didn't realize it until we (Jeff) had painted two coats of the base coat. He literally stayed up until 2:00 am one morning trying to get the base coat on the walls in the kitchen.

To make a long story short, he had to repaint the walls white before we could continue with a different color. So, needless to say, the kitchen walls have about 6 coats of paint on them.

Two pics from the kitchen:






After the kitchen fiasco, we took a break from painting. Jeff has now started painting the living room and dining area. He is such a little handy painter and quite crafty. Here's a picture of his artwork that was designed especially for me.



Anyway, we are having a lot of fun getting this new place decorated. Our other condo is rented, and I pray that we continue to be as blessed as we have been so far!

Happy Thursday!!
