Whoohoo! Ceiling in the main area is finished and thanks to Snowy and Ash’s unceasing paintitude, there is primer and a first coat on walls and ceiling! That’s a bigger job than it seems because painting the tongue and groove pine involves a first trip across with a brush painting the grooves, then a trip across with the roller.
The place looks brighter. The ceiling looks higher. I can almost picture moving bookcases and furniture in…. We couldn’t be more thrilled. Six years of waiting and working coming to a head!
MrsPages and the LittlePages are going to be sanding, filling and painting today. (And much of next week, likely)
Here’s the bit of ceiling that I have left to put boards on, at the bottom of the stairs. Hopefully finished today, but the corners and angles make for slow going.
The ceiling is simply Behr Ultra Pure Flat Ceiling White. The walls are a beautiful barely-off-white Behr PPL-50 “Table Linen”. It’s just tinted enough to see a difference when it’s up against the white ceiling and trim. It really warms the place up nicely.

Actually, there’s only one coat of primer on the ceiling. Exactly why did we decide to leave the main room so big? I may be painting into next year, I think!
But it’s sort of surreal how beautiful it looks. And how close to being done. I really must find some before the “before pictures” so everyone can see the orange press-board walls and black flooring tiles!
What ever will I spend my time angsting about once the basement is done? Oh right. None of the warped kitchen cabinets close
