painting: stage 1

We have started to paint the upstairs of the new house, since there is still dust and construction happening downstairs. All of the bedrooms had cream colored trim and molding--which is nice--but not my style, and the hallway had this dark greenish color trim . We bought a five-gallon bucket of pure white paint for the all of the trim in the entire house. It is EVERYWHERE! The windows, baseboards, chair rails, crown molding, doorways, radiators, closet doors, and more. We have finished one room completely upstairs, completed the hallway, and are almost finished a second room. We still have two more full rooms to complete with white paint and a couple of random things to paint. 



We need to figure out the best way to paint a radiator, and I am thinking that spray paint may work the best. I think spray paint will also work best on all of the light switch covers and outlet covers-which are a mixture of black and cream-depending on the room you're in. The joys of renovation!


I also picked up some paint swatches at the hardware store this weekend to determine what color we want to paint the master bedroom. I am liking a very light green, not too limey and not too pastelish. We have some tough decisions to make in the next couple weeks.
