Foyer Painting - Part 2

Saturday we picked up where we left off, rolling on the paint from Friday's cut-in work. I worked the second floor portion of the foyer from an extension ladder. My wife then painted the lower portion while I worked the second floor landing. The landing received an accent color, Oak Creek.

By the end of the day, we had two coats of paint on the main portion of the foyer and one coat of Oak Creek on the landing. I'll apply a quick second coat of Oak Creek today. 

One thing that made painting the foyer manageable was using a Wagner power roller. This tool pumps the paint into the roller, eliminating the need to use long extension poles or climb up and down to dip the roller in a tray.  The only downside to the tool is that it takes about a half hour to clean all the parts.

In other family news, my son received a set of braces this past week. He had oral surgery two weeks ago to pull some baby teeth in preparation of his receiving the braces.  He got a cheesesteak the night before, the last he'll be able to bite into for two years. . . 

Next up is painting the accent wall in the kitchen and then move on to the Dining Room and Living Room.  I was going to tile the kitchen backsplash before painting but have decided to hold off on that for a while.
