Sorry for the silence last week, what with Father’s day we didn’t really get anything done at Aldo’s House. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We realized that treating the two rooms as a unit was somewhat overwhelming, and decided to paint the dining room completely before adding any color to the living room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We finally brought Aldo to visit the house. He was very unsure about this travel arrangement but managed to fall asleep eventually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    He would very much like to know why we’re spending so much time making a mess of this cabin instead of hiking or something. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      You may be able to tell that Jen took these photos from a chair while Jesse did all the borscht painting but hey, she needed to keep Aldo safe from paint-related dangers. The first coat of Borscht did not apply or dry evenly, not in the slightest. It needed a thorough second coat after it had completely dried. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      By contrast, the green covered beautifully on the first pass. We had to go back and hit a few dimples after the bubbles popped, but it seems that the majority of our frustrations are happening with paints containing red pigment. I guess the lesson is: when you’re painting in red, you might need twice as much as you thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Tada! White Duck ceiling, Borscht North and South, Fiddlehead Fern East and West, and Resort Tan trim. We’ll get around to replacing that ceiling fan, but we want all three in the house to match and it’s a low priority. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        We’ll do some proper before-and-after photos and a cost summary once we’ve installed the flooring and curtains!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
