Second bedroom done!

Despite being at the house late last night, we managed to get there fairly early today and got right to painting. We mainly worked on the second bedroom, which was painted a light green and some grey/violet. The windows hadn't been painted in about 30 years. We think some of the closets have not been painted since the house was built.

While I painted the walls, Gina took all the closet shelves outside and painted them in the driveway.

Ziggy isn't too fond of the house and seems to be happiest in the car in spite of it being hot and humid today. 

In order to save time we have been mainly eating prepared foods from Trader Joes that go in the microwave. All we have right now is a freezer, a small microwave and a mini fridge. The minifridge does keep our cheap beer from Trader Joes cold. We mix that up with veggies from our CSA. Good thing we have that this year or we probably wouldn't bother with the healthy foods.  

We have been pretty pleased with the paint we got from True Value hardware. It was ranked pretty well by consumer reports and is a very low VOC paint. We got a great coupon and got all our paint at 50% off.  I do find the semi gloss is better than the eggshell.

We are pleased with the color of the second bedroom. It is actually a much lighter color than the master bedroom. We are using the same trim color throughout the first floor.
