The birthday party is approaching and we’re trying to get the painting in the playroom finished up so that we don’t have to empty the room again after the party!  We spent all day Sunday working on the playroom – sanding trim (primer coat) priming doors, painting the ceiling and all the caulking.  I got the first coat of paint on the crown after the girls were in bed and started the trim paint (1 window and a bit of the wainscotting).

This is the floor finished with 3 coats – before we started our weekend work on the room.

Monday Ryan was off of work (mondays all summer) so he picked up the painting.  He got the first coat on the rest of the trim (minus the baseboard and 1 window sash), second coat on the crown and 1 door painted.  Unfortunately Monday night Bella got strep so instead of finishing up some work then some painting I was snuggling Bella who’s throat hurt until the medicine started working.

Yesterday was Bella’s 4th birthday!  She had a sick day home but was luckily feeling better already and had a fun day playing while I worked.  We had her favorite chicken and mashed potatoes dinner and cupcakes for dessert.   She got to play with her new paw patrol stuff while wearing her new Elsa gear – her best day 🙂

After bedtime (and lots of reminding the girls to stop talking) I painted the baseboard all around and the last window sash.  Then I switched and got the first coat of blue on the walls!  The room now has 1 coat on everything except 1 door so it’s looking more finished.  Next up we have to sand all the trim before we can start the second coat on everything.

We are using the same ‘Ash Blue’ color in the playroom as my office as we really love it with the Linen White trim.  I also picked out a Cobblestone grey color to paint my sewing table which is sitting in the middle of the room in that picture.  That project will happen after the party but it’s ready for primer and paint (all sanded) at least.

It’s going to be another few long nights especially since I also have to clean the house for the party and maybe decorate and bake a cake ? 🙂
