So much painting....

Well, I haven't posted anything for a while, because all I've really been doing is painting. Not much to that, so I don't find it a terribly interesting thing to post. I definitely don't find it a fun thing to do either, although painting isn't terrible, the prep work certainly is: patching walls, sanding, taping, etc.

Another look at the previous motif. Brown flat doors and old trim with white walls.

A look at the after in the office. Trim all done, new door, and nice new "reflecting pool" color walls.

And then a look at the finished hallway. I extended the chair rail around the entire hallway, as before it stopped at the first bedroom door. With it all the way around the hallway now it definitely looks fancier and seems to make the hallway look bigger.

Here's a couple looks at the prep work involved to paint everything. First had to tape up everything to paint the baseboard trim, then after that had to tape up around all the trim to paint the walls. An important tidbit I discovered, is that the green "frog tape" is awesome in comparison to the usual 3m blue tape. Left a clean line everywhere and didn't pull off any paint during removal.

Another look of the hallway before all the painting.
