When we moved into this house we knew we would eventually have to paint because the paint job here was so horrible. First of all they used that awful builder's grade paint. As soon as you touch it or rub against it, there is a permanent mark. Secondly they did a horrible job of actually paining. There were drip marks, holes in the wall, and uneven paint strokes. We decided to keep the room a tan color and picked out a tan that is a little darker than the current color. Here are the before pictures:
If you look closely you can see the horrible paint job. That is not your computer folks, that's what the wall really looks like!
Another shot of the uneven paint.
Isn't this pretty folks?
Here is the bathroom. This is actually where I started painting because I figured I could do this small area on my own.
More blotchy paint.
First I sanded the walls since there were so many paint drips from the previous paint job. Then spackled, waited, sanded some more, and put painter's tape up. Next was the fun part--painting!
This is a picture while I was in the middle of paining. The paint is actually darker than this when it dries, but you can tell the quality of the paint is so much better!
The finished bathroom! Doesn't it look so much better! No holes in the wall, no drip marks, no horrible paining strokes left, just beautifully painted tan walls!
After getting reprimanded by my mother, mother-in-law, and father-in-law I am not going to paint the bedroom. Thankfully my wonderful father-in-law has volunteered to paint the room for Jeff and me! After all the painting is completed then we can move in the furniture that Reggie and Korrie have saved for us. Next comes the fun part for me: Using Pinterest to decorate the room! We'll keep you updated as the baby room starts coming together!
