Painting…Day 37 (Continued)

Today’s blog entry is a continuation of the painting posting of yesterday. The first photo below shows the East end of the kitchen and the entrance to the laundry room after Rick and his crew finished the spraying the first coat of enamel. They made it all the way around the first floor spraying the cabinets, window trim and baseboard from the garage door in the mudroom to the far end of the music room as well as the staircase to the second floor. Last night the paint fumes drove me out in about 5 minutes…this morning it was barely tolerable!

The next photo shows the outside wall of the first floor laundry room. Here you can see the white enamel on the door casing, upper cabinets, window trim, baseboards, and base cabinets. After literally days of masking and taping the actual spraying goes amazingly fast.

The last two photos show the stair risers, trim boards, and balusters in the front staircase with the first coat of white enamel applied. With all the white paint on the wood its kind of hard to remember that there is beautifully stained dark oak underneath all the masking materials.
