Picking Finishes


After work last night, Trent & I went shopping for paint & flooring at Home Depot. They offer a no VOC paint. It's more expensive than some other brands, but we feel worth it to not have those fumes particularly in the vicinity of our bedroom. I picked out a very pale green color called "Hidden Sea Glass." Looking forward to seeing it on the walls, but first we have a good bit of cleaning to do. I swept multiple times and vacuumed twice Sunday, but there is still sawdust everywhere - even on the walls. And there's the flooring debate. I think it would be easier to paint and then do the flooring (no worries about spilling or dripping on it). Trent thinks we should put the flooring down first. His argument is that once the floor is down, we can put the toilet back together and regain our bathroom. Then paint. I see his point but also don't want to take the bathroom apart twice - it's nearly empty as it is right now. Stay tuned for the coin toss. ;)

  1. Oh, they have paper at Home Depot that you can tape to the floor to protect it while you paint and finish everything. Or I just taped plastic over my kitchen floor until we were done with painting. good luck :)
