I’m still in Nashville, working on lots of things for Jamie. I’ve been battling a cold and cough all week. It certainly has slowed me down. Yesterday I sanded, puttied, sanded, taped, primered, (is primered a word, or should you say primed?) and painted the stairs. I put two coats of Kilz on the risers, and one coat of semi gloss wall and trim paint. (white) Even though the wood is plywood, it looks pretty nice.
We then painted the walls to match the living room, a case of using what you have. Jamie has a huge collection of paint, but no white wall paint. The light brown is Behr “Teepee”. I really love it, but it made me want some chocolate! 🙂
Today I have to decide what to do with the stairs. We’ve pretty much decided that staining is not going to work due to the putty I used. I googled it, and it seems that I should have used tinted putty. Keep your fingers crossed that it all comes out okay.
On today’s agenda besides the stairs: picture frames, paint the office, poly the headboard. Oh, and to investigate why her upstairs bathroom light fixture suddenly stopped working.
I better get busy, I hope everyone has a very “lucky” friday the 13th!
