Painting Pandemonium
So thanks to Emily, I am writing this blog! I decided to change the colors of paint in my kitchen and dining room from a winter amythest (lavender) to mother nature (green). Not only did I decide to change the wall color, but I also decided that I wanted to paint my cabinets off-white since the white that is on there now would not match appropriately with the new color. The first night of my endeavor began by priming the walls with a gray shade so that the lavender would be fully covered and not bleed through the green. After waiting about 1 hour for the primer to dry I started to roll on the green. Fast forward to 15 minutes later and bubbles start to appear everywhere I have painted green. When assessing the wall I notice that the paint is just peeling off kind of like when you have a sunburn just a little more moist. Anyway so I give up and sleep on it. The next day I had sub orientation so I just ignored it until I got home around 5 and then decided to resume. I have now finished with the green and have moved on to the cabinets. I didn't know that so much prep work went into painting cabinets. UGH! What have I gotten myself into. Not only that but being the overachiever that I am I decided that I would spray paint the hardware on the cabinets to look more modern. I haven't even gotten to that point yet. I am hoping to finish the final coat on the cabinets today! Pray that I get through the night with no major problems!
