Hiding Seams.

{One week late} ..better late than never! 

This past weekend we were able to scribble a lot off of our ‘to-do’ list! I had Monday off for Presidents Day so Greg took the day off as well, allowing us to have three full days to focus on our house. It went better than I could have imagined! Friday night we stayed up until 3 AM spraying texture on the walls. (OY). We were determined to finish the entire main level at once but time didn’t allow. 

Saturday morning we were up with the sun and able to complete the texture throughout our master bedroom, bath, and closet. Honestly, we both felt like walking zombies by noon. I get a little silly with lack of sleep. 

 The texture we chose is knockdown. We used the same texture throughout our house in Denver and didn’t have any complaints! It is really easy to do once you get the hang of it, and I love how much it hides! We started out with a few buckets…

Here’s a picture of before and after we ‘knocked it down’.

It took most of Saturday evening for the texture to dry, which worked out well. Greg took me out for ‘surf ‘n turf’ for our Valentines dinner… He’s the best. 

Sunday morning we worked on getting everything ready to paint. For a nice finish we lightly sanded some of the rough spots, and made sure all of the corners were smooth. The drywall mud tends to ‘bead up’ if you get any dust on your trowel while knocking it down, so the sanding helps with that. We are very happy with the outcome! I’ll share pictures of everything once it’s painted!
