We are getting down to the wire and we’re beginning to feel the pressure.

It’s a little unsettling:
•transforming your home to get ready to sell
•getting everything packed up to move
•working on projects in your down time
•planning/scheduling all your future jobs in the next house
•trying to plan around a closing date that keeps changing

So, this Saturday Morning was the day we planned to paint the basement stairwell and get a coat of Primer on the powderroom walls.

I didn’t want to buy my favorite Benjamin Moore $50.00/gallon paint for the stairwell. So, I sent Michael to get a nice Glidden beige Paint. Bob Villa likes it. Well, he found a can of Behr on the sale rack for $9.00 that someone had mixed and refused. The color was a little shocking in the can, almost the color of Maxi’s deposits; but, sometimes the color looks better on the wall.

So, Michael donned his t-shirt and boxers, that’s his painting uniform, go figure. He actually purchased blue painters tape (a six-pack). This is quite a big deal as, Michael is  fast-paced and often begins his projects before getting all the necessary materials.

I suggested:  “Just paint a little and we’ll decide. I’ll be right back.” When, I came back one entire wall and 1/2 the ceiling was done. GASP.

Now, we have gold walls with black trim and green carpet. Yikes! It sounds as awlful as it looks. It was supposed to transition from the main floor beige to the basement peppercorn.

Maybe I can use some pictures to enhance it.
