No Excuses

For the past few weeks, I've been making excuses for not getting that basement hallway painted.

Kids. Sick kids. Yup, that was mostly it.

This week, it's my taxes. They are turned in, though (sigh of extreme relief), so off I go to paint.

I forgot how much I love to paint. This hallway is a little dark, so I was a little concerned about adding a grey-green color and a black chalkboard down there, but the sheen of the paint actually reflects light better than the primed/matte paint that was there before. Not surprising once you think about it, but exciting for me to enjoy a little bit of light downstairs.

And I have pictures! A first coat has been applied. No idea when the second will follow, but hey. It's progress.

Believe it or not, it's all the same color. I did get excited and painted the ceiling a little. That will definitely need some help in the near future.

Once the second coat of paint is on, I can start bugging Doug about trim. Hehe.
