Oh dear God the paint fumes

It's late winter and spring is on the horizon, in my house that means painting.

Last year we painted the foyer in February and the half bath and dining room in March and here we are again back at it. I started the office/library last week while Jer was in TX and it's almost finished. The last coat on the trim will be done tomorrow. Hopefully tomorrow night the tape will be down, furniture will be moved back, and wall art back up. Perhaps then my head, eyes, and throat will stop hurting.

Family room next or laundry room that is the question. I want to finish the back half of the house in the next 2 weeks. That means I have a bedroom, family room, full bath, and laundry room to paint and I will be in a paint infused haze until the end of March.

Send a respirator.

  2. i've heard the new eco friendly paints do not have the fumes. have not tried them mainly because i'm not painting and i hear they are pricey. wonder if they might help you avoid the respirator? fb pic was so pretty.
