While in Red Deer this weekend we picked up some great paint in our selected colours, as per the plan for the nursery. That the priming was already done helped, and we quickly tacked up a tape-line for the divider. I set to work last night, and managed to get both coats in both colours on the walls:
As you may be able to see — especially if you look at the higher resolution pictures — that is only a rough tape-line separating the colours. Our plan is to ultimately get a nice 1&1/2 inch chair rail tacked up at that point. But, of course, that means ACTUALLY going out and BUYING a chair rail, painting it, and then hanging it. For the record, this project is on hold for a couple weeks. The mural (as promised) is in the planning stages: I’m going to do some practice with an airbrush I picked up this past weekend (first seeing if I can get the air compressor hose up through the window!) and then see if I can locate some workable colours. Time, time time! If I only had more time! As for the paint-job. We’re both glad to have that mess finished (this far at least). The room is beautiful and the photo does not do it justice. You really need to see it in the sunlight, glowing. |
