1st Project of 2022 - 7

First coat of the final colour went on this morning; half way through I came to the understanding that I do not like decorating, that I really am an amateur at it and don’t really know what I’m doing. Popped around to a friend who does it for a living and got some pointers as to what I’m doing wrong; basically I’m trying to paint too big an area with one roller and he said “if it takes 5 coats then it takes 5 coats.” Will give it another coat tomorrow.
I think you’ve been doing amazing work so far, but it’s always wise to consult an expert when not sure. I kind of need a top down view of this room because I can’t figure out the railing.

@shutterbug49 The railing is a bed on it’s side (to give me more room) - it’s the wooden slats of the bed that you can see that looks like a railing.

I like the subtle colour, looking good from here!

@phil_sandford Oh, thanks for the explanation. Hang in there. It’s looking great.

I employed a man, he did as good a job as I would have ( u get what you pay for!)

A significant amount of progress today. You’re doing great Phil.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond You ‘paid a man’ and he didn’t do a better job than you could have done? Really? 😜

@phil_sandford You get what you pay for!! But mainly the job was done and it's now a beautiful studio!!

It always seems such like a good idea but the novelty soon wears off!

Beautiful color choice.

It's pink again!
January 22nd, 2022  
Nice colour. Decided hate decorating too!
January 22nd, 2022  
oh wow all that and it's pink still? shame you are not enjoying this as you seem to spend a lot of time on it!
January 22nd, 2022  
@koalagardens - It’s a much subtler ‘pink’ than before, it’s called ‘Unicorn Horn’ for some reason; the time I spend on it is dictated to be evenings & weekends around the full time job.

@brennieb Bet you’re better at it, and have more patience than me Brenda.
January 22nd, 2022  
Looking good! So you're not a pro. It's the finish that counts. =)

I am so surprised to see that is pink again. What do you mean by too big an area with one roller? How do you either make the area smaller or use two rollers?
January 23rd, 2022  
Looks like you have it well under control.

I'm liking the room color!

@kjarn When loading the roller, I then try to paint too big an area with it before loading it with paint again - so spreading it too thin.

I’m a two paint coat girl. I’ve never had to do three, thank goodness. This is a lovely dusty rose color, I like it!

@louannwarren @thewatersphotos Thanks both. We like the colour, far more subdued than was on there before. Done more today, but more to do tomorrow.
