et voila

salle de bains est finis. a demain -- le monde!
ok, not really, but the foyer, lol. in all my moves and myriad living spaces, i've painted dozens of rooms. in the past, i've battled ancient wallpaper, often many layers of it; shallow plaster that collapsed upon touch; walls that had been punched in by previous tenants (even a hole from bobcat goldthwaite's head); walls left unpainted for decades which sucked up paint like a sponge; and foolishly braved the removal of lead paint and ancient shellac. each one a special circle of home improvement hell.

this place is my first with new walls. they're like buttah ! once the tedious prep was complete, the job was so quick. it's heartening for the rest of the loft.

super speedy re-do and some promising job leads mean this will be a good week. yippee.

p.s. i don't hate painting here!
