Things I've Painted So Far

Since these rooms aren't really done, I figured a quick process update would be enough. I painted some things.

First, I painted the upstairs back bedroom. It was in the best shape of all the bedrooms, and a fresh coat of paint cheered it right up.

After

Soon the floors and trim will be painted, the light fixture will be installed, the window will be reglazed, we'll find a door for this room... and then it's all decor from there out!

The other painting project was the conclusion of the earlier project of revealing and sanding the floors in the master bedroom.

Scraped and sanded

Painting!

Painted floors

The floors weren't in good enough shape to refinish -- the wood was soft and pretty roughed up in a number of places -- and we figured that painting would have been a more durable and convenient coating "back in the day" than having to routinely wax and/or oil the floors in the private family quarters.

So, two painting projects down!
