During the week before New Years, I had the week off of work. Our goal was to spend time organizing the house – unpacking boxes we never unpacked when we moved in, moving my office to the basement downstairs (to clear out the room it was in for a nursery), and painting the nursery.
Between Joelle and I, we got everything done, but I made sure to schedule painting for a day when Joelle was at work – even though we were using Low-VOC (i.e. low toxin) paints from Benjamin Moore. So Clodagh (thanks again!) came on over, and painting her and I did. Turns out, this paint (we used Aura paint in Acadia Green for the nursery, and Aura in Queen’s Wreath for the bathroom), is amazing. One coat, no primer, even over our brick red bathroom; no paint even dripped off of the brush while painting – it was pretty darn thick. Highly, highly recommended, especially for the time savings, but also for the cost savings due to not needing the primer or second coat.
Pictures, of course, tell the story:
