Yellow #2

It took us a while but we have finally finished the third bedroom. The room started off with two different kinds wallpaper. When we stripped the wallpaper, under one wall discovered a second layer that had been painted over. Stripping the second layer took off some of the wallboard, so the wall was a mess. Luckily a consult with our neighbour, who is a contractor, resulted in a free lesson on how to replaster a wall and the use of his tools. We couldn't have picked a better location for a house ;)

George replastered the wall, I did some touch ups and called in my friend Ron while George was away for some assistance and consult. I wanted to surprise George when he got home. I had a visit from Malcolm who agreed that the cost of a free place to stay is helping with priming and a first coat of paint. That and I didn't give him a choice.

George came home a week later and I showed him the room. I didn't say anything. As though it pained him George said, "It looks nice." I told him I thought it was too yellow. Unfortunately I was not able to catch the look of relief on his face.

We selected a new paint, reprimed the room and now it looks wonderful. Our handy neighbour installed the hardwood floor like he did in the other two bedrooms for us.



Moral of the story: The first paint was called "Citrus Yellow" the second is "Wildflower Honey". According to George, anything with honey in it is good.

Next the living room...
