I mentioned that I was going to paint my fireplace. Not gonna lie, I was pretty nervous about it. Once brick is painted, you’re committed. But I’m happy with the end result.

I used Avorio White Limewash Interior/Exterior Paint by Romibo. Once I started mixing the stuff I thought I was in BIG TROUBLE. It’s like painting watery sand. It was the messiest stuff I’ve ever worked with but very forgiving. Like… when Merida walked on it before it was dry, it wasn’t hard to fix. (insert eye roll here) The GOOD dog just posed for a photo.

Next up is either the master bedroom and bath or repainting the floor in the sunroom. Neither project excites me. Blah!
