As mentioned in my previous post http://www.littlesliceofimperfection.com/?p=1766 to keep from spending unnecessary money right now, we are only working on projects that we already have the supplies for, or improvising entirely. Our main goal is to get the exterior of the house painted, which needs to be done before we can build the deck anyway.
Don’t forget that you can get most of the supplies you need to work on a paint project from Amazon, delivered right to your door.
These are the items I’m using:
Paintbrush: https://amzn.to/2yCjTIn
Paint Trays: https://amzn.to/3aVnK1F
Paint Cup (a life saver!): https://amzn.to/3aVnK1F
Paint Roller Frame: https://amzn.to/34je8v8
Paint Rollers (5 pack): https://amzn.to/2RkteuW
Amazon does have primer and some paint colors ready to ship but they don’t have a huge selection. However, I believe Home Depot has a deal where you can call ahead and have them mix a color for you so that you can just run in and pick it up.
The above picture also shows the cedar planks that Brian added to the ceiling of the front porch and the new post he installed recently. Brian wants to paint it the same bronze as the front porch floor but I want to stain it to match the wooden shutters we plan to make. We’ll see who wins.
It’s not much yet, but it’s a start. I think this is going to completely change the look and feel of our house and I am so excited to see it! Stay tuned for more updated pictures for this and the rest of our projects!
