Paint me a room!!!!

Well, one more painting project is under Mike's belt!!!
BUT there are a few more to go (our bedroom and the dining room- which is a major re-do).
But that is for another day, far from this one.
Mike spent every night of this past week up 'til the wee hours doing the white trim in the hall & entryway with the buttercream yellow wall color, and the green wall color in the toy room.
He did a great job, and it was all just in time before our 4th of July guests arrived. Yeah babe!
Abby kept asking him when he was going to paint the white and yellow each day! So it is now done and she doesn't ask anymore! Nice!!
This white trim is a real PAIN!!!! He painstakingly had to tape off everything and paint the trim twice. Once to cover/prime the dark wood trim, then another coat to get it looking pretty!
Now our entryway is nice and bright and cheery! That white trim makes a HUGE difference!
Slowly but surely it will all be white.

  1. I'm just getting caught up on blogs but the white trim looks GREAT!! I'm a huge fan of glossy white trim. I've just spent the last three days during naptime painting the dark wood trim around that large stain glass window in the family room--it is a HUGE pain to tape everything off and paint the smelly oil based primer and then two final coats of paint. But so worth it!! Love the yellow color in your hallway too!!
