Cold North

Project 365: Day 324



We are finally getting around to changing some of the paint colors in our house. The previous owner made fun color choices, so we didn't have a ton of white walls when we moved in. We are planning on leaving a bunch of the rooms the color they are, but the living room is not one of those room. It was painted a very generic, off-white color and had a lot of scuff marks from where the previous owner's couch had backed up to the wall.

We are relatively new at this, having only painted one apartment together in the past, so hopefully we will gain in speed on the next rooms. Compared to when we painted our last apartment, this time we had a lot less square footage to paint, but we care a lot more about the finished result. Since we also repainted the ceiling, it took us most of the weekend to do it and we still aren't totally done. We want to do a few more touch-ups in the light of day and then I think we will be ready to peel off the tape!

The only drawback to changing out those boring white walls for pretty Cold North colored walls was that my hand hurts so badly from holding the brush that I couldn't knit tonight. It is a good thing I am not on an Olympic Knitting deadline.
