DONE!

Yes, on the sloped wall, not only did the paint come off when I took off the tape, it took off the texture all the way to the drywall. So I peeled off the rough edges and at the suggestion of my smarty spouse, I used the spackle to build it back up. So the spackle we have goes on pink and dries to white. Thus the picture is of that and not me having lost my mind and added pink splotches to the wall.

So it's 12:45 am on Day 4 (day 5 technically) and I'm officially done with the painting. It's turned out quite nice. And I managed to paint all the trim without getting any on the carpet. Covering the wood trim was hard and took multiple coats to get it looking nice. It's still not perfect in places but I will definitely touch up with an art brush in the tiny places. We'll see what furniture covers first. HA!

I am completely worn out and wished to be in my own bed tonight but that's not going to happen. Tomorrow on the agenda is recovering the headboard and cleaning the carpets. You can definitely tell where our high traffic areas are and where the dogs spend a lot of time. But for now, here is the new room.
