Adventures in Painting with Layne

Room number 1, which will be Abbey and Layne's new room, was stripes.  I sanded, primed, textured, sanded again, textured again, then painted...all in attempt to cover up the stripes.  If you should find yourself trying to cover up stripes on your walls, give me a call.  Room number 2, which will be Landen's new room, had a narrow brown stripe around the room.  I decided to paint over the stripe with another stripe.  Forget the 10 step process above.  I picked a dark blue, taped off a wider area, and went to work.  With my ever-faithful sidekick.


1.  Upstairs:  Blue tape + one coat wall color paint

2.  Heading Downstairs:  This little monster-face worked up an appetite

3.  Heading Upstairs:  A happier little monster with a bowl full of apples

4.  Upstairs:  One coat of the new blue   

5.  Upstairs: Bag of cheese-its in bed...retrieved from another trip downstairs

6.  Upstairs:  Rolling around in a bed with cheese-its, just before heading back downstairs for the
     vacuum

Someday, I'm going to sit around and watch paint dry!
