The fresh snowy white paint down in the new sewing lair made me realize how dingy the rest of the white paint in the house is. I guess it makes sense–I closed 15 years ago tomorrow (!)–but if we’re going to sell in a few years, we’ll need to paint anyway, and why not enjoy new paint until then?
So I started with the old sewing room because it was still empty. I prepped over the week and knocked it all out Sunday and ended up with a room that…looks the same in photos!
Before: 
After: 
Up close, though, it looks really good. There was a weird ghosting coming through at the roof line from the 2x4s (you can see it above the window in the before) and some blocking primer and paint fixed that, along with 15 years worth of scuffs and dings and nail holes.
It looks SO good that I’ve realized I’m going to have to do the whole house, not just a few rooms. It’s good to have projects, I guess.
