Painting on Wellington St

Andrew's painting in the 3rd bedroom, the former blood red nursery,  that will become my office.

We're transforming it from "blood red baby dungeon",
into "fresh clean sewing room/office".

 I tested the following three Benjamin Moore colours:
- oxford white, which was too blue
- cloud white, which was too creamy
- simply white, which was a goldilocks colour
i.e. not too blue, not too yellow, juuust right


So far we've:
1. removed foam "a,b,c," wallpaper border
2. scraped glue off wall
 3. tsp'd and rinsed the walls
 4. painted one coat of Benjamin Moore Aura "Simply White" over the red.
The sales lady assured me that two coats, no primer, would cover red, so I'm anxious to see.
one coat




Now I'm waiting for paint to dry, but it's hot out here & its quick dry paint, so in about another 1.5 hour it should be good to go. :)





Update 1 hour later: coat two has gone on.

Update 3 hours later: two is enough. time to rest, painting trim tomorrow!
