Today I started one of my summer projects. Each summer I plan to get things done that I can't get done during the school year. This summer I've decided to paint my dining room and the master bedroom. The boyfriend's family is in town so I have time to start these projects.
I painted the dining room last summer but didn't really care for the color after looking at it for a year so I decided to paint it the same color as the living room and hallway. I had 3/4 of a gallon of the paint left so I thought that would be enough to paint the dining room but it wasn't. I had to go out and get another gallon. Luckily it wasn't a specailly mixed color so I didn't need to worry about it matching. I'm glad I got the extra gallon because it needed three coats to cover the green I painted it last year.
So that's one project done. Next week the boyfriend leaves for his vacation with his family so I'll have time to do the big project of painting the master bedroom. It's just about twice the size of the dining room so will take twice the time to do. I painted the bedroom when I moved in ten years ago so it's time for an update. It's currently a burgundy color and I'm going to change it to a lighter color. I have picked out a khaki green kind of color. When I get it done, I'll have to take a picture to show the new color. I'll have to remember that.
