The basement’s painted. No stripes as of yet, but the basecoat’s entirely done. It’s certainly blue. 🙂 I love it, though. It’s an absolutely perfect shade. I’m glad I decided to use that as the basecoat because it turns out some of the walls down there had never really been painted. It was just kind of straight drywall and was soaking up the paint like crazy. And, I’m glad I painted the basecoat before my parents left because it turns out one gallon wouldn’t cover it all. Tee hee. I’ve used up almost two whole gallons down there. I’m telling you, the basement’s huge. I have a lot of work to do tomorrow to get those stripes done.
More good news – the curtains are almost done. I just got finished putting the second panel together, but it still needs to be hemmed and the top needs to be taken care of. But that’s the biggest bit of work finished on those silly curtains. I hope they look alright once they’re up. I’m kind of nervous about them since I’ve never made curtains before, but so far the measurements are correct and they look pretty cool laid out on the cutting table. If they’re crap and my parents don’t like them when they get back they can just go out and buy new ones. So, I think I’ll quit worrying about it and just get them done tomorrow.
I’ve had more random thoughts while painting today, but I’m too tired to type them up. I really need to get some sleep now.
