I have memories of various home improvement projects over the long Thanksgiving weekend. In particular, I recall Suzanne and I hanging wallpaper on more than one occasion.
This year we have several ongoing projects with our newly acquired condo. I have already replaced the garbage disposal and fixed the refrigerator and leaking toilet. We have some carpet replacement scheduled for next Monday. The big project is repainting almost all the interior walls.
While shopping for paint the manager at Sherwin-Williams offered to give us a contractor’s account, since our rental property is our business. This gives us everyday discounts on all paints and accessories, and is a smart move for them because we are inclined to buy all our materials from them.
Here are some photos at the start of the project.
The family room had a pleasant slight gray-green wall paint, which we liked well enough. But we figured we should go with a standard off-white paint for everything, rather than try to match it for touch-up painting.
The kitchen has a darker brown paint.
One family room wall is also a darker brown color.
The master bedroom had two colors, including this red wall.
The second bedroom was also two colors.
All of these colors were interesting enough, and would be great to personalize a home. But for a rental we want to go with a mainstream off-white for a clean, compatible look.
