After the removal of the hideous wallpaper and taking off the glue and then spending forever on removing the caulking on the baseboards (I swear they used shower calking--you could not paint over it and it was rubbery looking) I recaulked the baseboards and started to paint the kitchen red today. I did the ceiling white yesterday. I primed the walls first. So I painted and the walls did not look quite right but pretty. I let the paint dry and painted a second coat. The walls look great but not as perfect as I would like them to be. It probably is me because I seem to want to be a perfectionsit when I do a project and sometimes do more than needed.
A friend said she had to paint her dining room walls 5 times with red paint to get it perfect. I have no desire to do 5 coats of paint.....
So for those who have painted darker colors do you find you have to do more or do something different then you thought. I used a great green/envioronmentally safe paint with no fumes. I never had a problem with paint before and I have painted our houses for 20+ years. I love to paint.....
Anyone else doing some decorating now before the holidays?????
Next room is my dining room-have to remove the tan marble wallpaper (UGH) not a look one can live with.
