notes on painting

1) Vinegar and hot water (about 1:4) takes wallpaper off but if you run out of vinegar you can just use the hottest water you can stand. Soak, scrape, wash.

2) Oil primed dining room today. Feeling kind of woozy.

3) Selected color for dining room: Sherwin Williams' Luxurious Red; needs the gray primer to go under it since it's such a dark color. Drat.

4) Selected color for living room: SW's Ryegrass

5) Selected color for transition areas: SW's Ivoire

6) Sarah M. suggests the Cashmere (already in office, doesn't come in quarts) or the Superpaint (forgiving, good coverage).

hey- we are picking paint colors too. What a nightmare it has been. The lighting is so bad in the dining room that everything looks diff. on the walls.
Hows the painting going? Have you finished?
