Ouch this is expensive and time consuming

December 1st, 2008 at 08:09 pm

I don't have all the numbers to post but I will probably post what we spent on the house once it slows down. I do know that we have broke the 4k mark if you include appliances.

For those who asked, I will post before and after photos once I have them. The wall and trim repairs and painting is taking a very long time. We slept, ate, and worked on the house for the previous 3 days and we only have 1 room finished for all that effort (biggest room in the house though so that is something).

I decided to try sponge painting and decided that I can't stand it. So the walls are getting repainted back to the base color. Fortunately that won't take too long (2 hour max) but its still obnoxious.

3 people working 3 days straight on one house. Ugg. Fortunately we have another 2 long holiday weekends to really work on the house so that things can get fixed up.

Which is good, we are going to need it.

    It will be worth it, believe me. I have a sponged wall off that DH painted in my office/craft room and I really like it. It is a very pale french blue with medium french blue sponged over that. Maybe it was the color?

    It was pretty but far too busy. Though I agree, if the colors had been more similar I think it wouldn't have been quite as busy looking. Given the size of the room though, texture is best left to one color. Otherwise it is overwhelming. The walls are textured though so it will still not be plain.

    Sounds exhausting...but gratifying! Keep me updated on your housework!
