Lots of work here, mostly due to the need for a lot of wall patching. I’ve been living with very dinged up walls since I bought the house, all from the previous owners. As an example, here’s a short wall while I was patching and spot priming with Zinsser B-I-N.
After patching and priming, it looked like this:
I hadn’t intended to paint the ceiling, but I decided to patch a tiny drywall joint settling crack on the ceiling and two small holes near the master bedroom (not sure what was previously mounted there). I didn’t have a lot of ceiling area to paint, but it needed to be done first so I wouldn’t wind up with spatter on the walls. As of Thanksgiving, I had put 2 thin coats of Kilz Original primer on the walls and ceiling and the first coat of flat ceiling paint on the ceiling.
The color I’m using on the walls is a very light yellow/cream, Sherwin-Willams ‘Vanillin’ (SW 6371) in matte sheen.
As of December 3rd, the painting is done. I’ll clean up and remove the remaining masking tape and floor protection tomorrow.
