LR Painting Project part 1

Ok, so far I have washed, spackled, sanded & painted (1st coat only) of 1/2 of 1 wall in the LR.

Here is the wall before moving the furniture. I had already actually painted it a few months ago, but it turned out to be a different shade than I wanted (olive green). So we are trying again. Don't mind Bailey and the few stray shoes, broom and message board:


Here is the wall cleared away, as you can see it needs a good washing:


Here is the damage the dogs caused scratching to get out (hence the reason there is now a piece of furniture by the door). As you can tell, the door needs to be washed, too:


I washed, spackled and sanded the wall:


The door washed (cept a place towards the bottom that wouldn't come off with magic eraser....I will paint over it):


The first coat painted, will need at least one more coat:

Decluttering Days 53-63 (2/22-3/4)

I need to start at least posting every 2-3 days so I don't get this far behind again. I have been working on my Living Room and Shed the past 2 weeks. I have completely decluttered my Living Room (except my cookbook shelves...don't know that I am ready to do that yet), and I have made a small dent in my shed. I did fill 6 truck loads to be carried to the dump (but a lot of that was BIG items such as furniture). I also freecycled a ton of kids' clothes.

I have also been working on painting the living room, and I started my seeds, too. The seeds were supposed to take weeks (like 6) to germinate, and in only 10 days, there are some that are about 8" tall already. So, hoping it will warm up soon & stay that way, so I am not gardening in my living room. At this rate, we will have vegetables in about another 10 days, lol. Won't it be fun to go no further than my living room to harvest a pumpkin????
