And did we paint it.
It was like being in South Carolina all over again (see, I went to Clemson for graduate school). And everything was orange.
Here were the before pictures. I guess this room hadn't been painted for at least thirty years!
And the after.
It was bright orange. The color was called saffron, but we decided pumpkin was a better description. Plus one of the guys didn't know what saffron was. (There were two other gentlemen 'helping' us out. We can't really figure out what they did while we painted. I guess prepared the other walls?)
And the other three walls were to be painted papaya. Or light pumpkin. Very bright and cheerful this room will be!
Ended up only painting the bright orange and then taping the rest of the room for the guys to paint later this week. Now I don't mind taping at all, but I went through two rolls just going around the room doing the bottom half. Darin was on the ladder taping the crown molding.
But it was actually fun and relaxing. Talked to the other two guys and listened to some football on the radio.
And met a nice camel.
