Workout Room Facelift

Room as of Friday
We finished our first painting project in the new house this weekend!  Woo Hoo!!  We started prep work on Tuesday with filling in holes and skim coating the textured paint the previous owners left us.  The train room is officially gone (that's what it was before and I'm still looking for pictures of the true before.  Then Wednesday we sanded and skim coating a few spots another time. 

Finally by the weekend we were ready to actually start painting the room but not before taping and then priming.  Ryan took care of the prep work while I taught at the gym Saturday morning.  Then a quick stop to pick up the paint Smoky Pitch and Metropolis.

Prep work - althought definitely necessary is not nearly as much fun as actually painting. 










We painting 2 walls Metropolis (aka gray) and then 1 wall Smoky Pitch (aka gun metal - according to Ryan).








And of course I had to have some fun with the painting - maybe a few too many fumes!


All in all the finished product is pretty awesome!!  I am already planning what room to paint next - I'm pretty sure it will be the master!

Our masterpiece
