Painting

Past fumigation, a leaking ABS pipe, a shower head not attached to the tile wall, a crumbling window frame due to water damage, lack of a dryer duct vent, a noisy garbage disposal, a leaking gas pipe, a collapsed fence, a cracked skylight, and an old roof with two layers on it, we now tackle a bit more conventional home-renovation project: repainting.



We masked and covered all extra appendages that couldn't be taken out of the bathrooms.



My brother Johnny and his girlfriend, Duong came over to help us repaint. Davis kids--so efficient.


Covering up the old paint. . .



Yes, the previous bathroom walls were aquamarine. Dubbed "swimming pool" by Johnny, "parakeet blue" by my dad. We repainted them "Antique White."



Here's a shot of the guest bathroom showing the contrast between the white door and the Antique White shade.

Before: We pulled away the drywall to reveal water damage from rain--nassssssty.
After: Fixed and repainted. Phew.



This room will be my office. The "Before" pale green is actually quite attractive, but c'mon. I've always wanted a lavender room.



Full shot of the repainted office. The color is "Winter Ice" in a flat matte.
