I took this when I got home because I wanted one of the colour dry. This is just the first coat I applied yesterday.

This is the final coat on the last of The Great Wall Project. Blotchy because it’s still wet in spots.

One month and one day ago, I ripped off that first small section of peach flowered wallpaper. Now, it’s all gone to the trash, replaced by beadboard and tastefully painted walls. 68 years of bad taste…eradicated by ME!

I also bought a ceiling light fixture for the room. Only two bulbs, and I think (maybe) I’ll paint it because it’s antique bronze, but it was a special for Prime members, and just about impossible to go wrong for nine bucks and free shipping. I just can’t find a ceiling fan I like with lights for what I’m willing to pay, so I’ll wait and keep looking.

EDIT: Should’ve been showered by now, but I got Cliffie’s tank moved, and my walls were dry enough to remove the tape. Without the distraction of ugly wallpaper, I see the edges of the ceiling that need repair (paint pulled off by tape, but I didn’t do it). That’s a project for another time, though. Tanks, desk, and office cabinets next. I got high density foam rollers and disposable pans today. Anyway here are my green walls. Not perfect, but not three layers of ugly paper, either!
