I’ve finished the downstairs trim painting in the guest house. I still need to do upstairs, but I want to get the downstairs walls done first. I really need to get this room put back together so I can move around. This space is tiny and it’s tricky moving around with wet paint tubs.

I’m starting the wall prep today.

After a few hours of painting yesterday, I had time to load and start quilting 2 veterans quilts.

The colors in that photo are way too yellow. I’ll get better photos when I’m done.

I use one of the 5 new pantographs that I bought this week. I haven’t bought new quilting patterns in years. These were selected because I know they will be fast and easy for charity quilts.

Time to get busy taping to get ready for painting.

that seems like a nice little guest house – you used to do AirBnb right? What do you use it for now that you don’t do that? I would be tempted to rent but wouldn’t like the hassle of dealing with a renter

The green walls are so soothing and peaceful. Is the new color going to be the same? Your new pantographs are fun!

You do a great job with the painting. I wish I did such a good job.
I love the panto in the last photo. That feels like something I would do.

I like that green wall color, but sometimes a change is refreshing. Nice veterans quilts!

That was a lot of trim painting.
