Painting...The Entry

Somebody famous said that repeating the same behavior over and over expecting different results was the definition of insanity. Does that apply to prep and paint? I mean, really, does it? I go from room to room removing baseboards, removing crap, patching and prepping for painting, all the while expecting it to be fun and easy and it NEVER IS!

Here is what the room looked like when I started. Well, after I had removed a bunch of junk that is.....

It had these ugly shelves on the walls. In the corner to the right of the front door was a wall coat rack and a pine, unfinished bench. All in all this room needs some TLC.

Of course we have plans for it, as we do for all the rooms in this house. We are going to put custom made, by SuperMoto, shelves to house our art glass collection and a little desk in that nook in the corner and some pictures and a mirror. We even have some grand plans of converting a section of the closet, that butts up against my pantry, into pantry. We shall see. We have lots of ideas, let's see how tired we get.

Here is the picture of what it looked like after all of my prep...

As you can see I am all ready to tape off and paint. I am looking forward to sucking up some more of that yellow that is on every wall in this house. (Minus the walls I have already painted.) I know how exciting this is for you so please don't go far. More of the riveting entry way paint project is to come.
