We've been non-stop painting over the past few weeks. The study took a billion hours because well... take a look below.
We don't have a true "before" picture, but as you can see - the previous owner was extremely patriotic, and although we love the US, it was a bit too intense.
The red and white striped wall was the WORST because all the lines between colors had to be sanded down in order for the surface to look smooth. Ideally, we should have sanded the whole thing - but... that didn't happen.
The other wall was pretty interesting, but parts of the wallpaper were falling down - so that had to go too.
Getting rid of wallpaper SUCKS. Everything is gooey and sticky - and the floor becomes a wet mess.
After hours of work - we finally got it cleaned up
Now for the fun part... PAINTING!
Cutting
First coat of prime
Checking for imperfections
Two coats of prime later, and a coat of paint (with Cooks carefully inspecting our work)
Finally finished.
