So the living room is done. THANK GOD. This room has been a nightmare, including the original flat paint not covering in two coats, having to buy an additional two gallons of eggshell, my initial paint spill, Tom’s multiple paint drips (by the end of painting, I think we had gotten equal amounts on the carpet)…and this morning, right after I said “This does NOT feel like a day to paint…” Tom’s mini paint can slipped out of his hands and got paint all over the tarp (which bled through onto the carpet), on the white entertainment center (which had to be repainted in spots), on the carpet, and on the audio equipment! FUN FUN FUN!! The good news is that coat #3 was the lucky one, and that was all she wrote.
There was one upside—we learned that eggshell is MUCH easier to get out of carpet, so we will NEVER be painting with flat again.
