So a while back I wrote about a paint job gone bad.  After seeing the troubles the pros had painting the "red room" and hearing them say how hard it is to paint red I thought I'd give painting another try.  I must say I did learn a thing or two watching the pros paint as well.

Like paint the trim first, then once dry tape the trim, do your cuts then roll on a coat.  Now the pros don't actually use tape but I did :)   I also replaced all the baseboards so I painted those and nailed them in place afterwards.  Much easier to roll the paint to the floor and cover it with baseboard later!

So the spare bedroom is now painted, pictures hung and the bed will go in on Friday once our new bed arrives for the master bedroom.  With a master bedroom that is 18' wide but 15' deep we had room for a king size bed :D 

With that in place the only thing left (hopefully) is the hardwood floors, a dining room table and some yard work.  Floors will get done when we can decide on a type of hardwood (I like Walnut, Lisa likes stained Birch).  The dining room table is coming next week sometime and Nutri-Lawn is coming to get the lawn healthy again.  It never seems to end but I am enjoying every bit of it!
