Wasn't it only yesterday when I wrote "how hard can it be?" about painting the living room/dining room?
Well it was hard. And we quit.
Granted, we started kind of late in the evening, and then realized that no, I can NOT free-hand the edges and yes we ran out of tape and no I didn’t have any more puffy rollers for the little roller.
Le sigh.
We finished one wall and I was so frustrated that I said THAT’S IT!! And packed it up. The wall looked terrible. It had one of those bands around the top from the edging not matching up with the rolling and the odd little paint blister and many spots where I would have to touch up the white trim. Ugh.
So tonight hubs is going to get all of the equipment we need to do it right and we can try again.
Good news is that once the walls dried, the band was gone and it looked pretty good (minus the ‘oops’ spots on the white trim). I guess we freaked out because the dried matte band was SO different from the wet-ish wall paint that we didn’t realize the wall still had a ways to go to get matte. The wall is fine now and will just take some touch ups with the white trim paint.
I think I said “we should have hired someone” about 15 times. Make that 16 cuz I’m still saying it!
