my mom was painting. my dad was filling and painting.
mathew was stripping trim, prepping for paint and i was up on my ladder finishing the picture rail prep.
filling. sanding.
sanding. sanding. sanding.
painting. painting.
before paint.
(left) mathew sealing himself into the room with the paint sprayer. it’s a smelly noisy process but so much faster than brushes and rollers. mathew sprayed the entire room with primer and the following day he sprayed the trim with semi gloss paint. (right) after paint.
as nice as the trim looks in natural wood, it would take a lot more time to prep and polyurethane it to make it look really nice. so everything is white again, but this time it’s clean and smooth and lead-free.
