Sir Mix-A-Lot

Of paint, that is! Bo had his hands full this weekend when the painting project of our master bedroom became a bit more than he bargained for!

When we painted the nursery, we discovered that our walls were soaking up the paint very fast. Luckily, we didn't run out of paint, but we came very close. We realized that this might be a problem for our master bedroom, too, so we decided to take some precautions. We figured if we primed the walls first, the whole project would probably take 1/2 a day. Not so......

Saturday morning started with Bo using Kilz to coat the walls, hoping that the primer would make a barrier for the paint. The walls soaked up a whole gallon of Kilz, which meant we had to go get more primer. After finishing with the new primer, we started with the top coat. At 1am Sunday morning, Bo finally had to stop painting when he ran out of the gallon of paint we had! The walls had sucked up not only the primer, but the paint, too! So, early Sunday morning, we treated ourselves to breakfast before heading to Lowe's to pick up a 2nd gallon of our wall paint.

We finally got the room done, though, and it looks great. However, it will definitely be awhile before we tackle painting the master bathroom!
