October 19. Our first weekend in the new place! Home Improvement Project #1: repaint the front bedroom/office. We used Benjamin Moore Aura paint in Buxton Blue. Unlike most interior flat finish paints, this stuff is really thick and self-priming... and it dries. Super. Quickly. By the time you move the ladder, the place you were just painting is already tacky. Note to future Aura users, do not go back and touch up the paint. You've got a window of about 30 seconds before it starts to get funny on you and puckers up. The first coat was a royal pain in the 'tocks, but once we knew how to work the paint, the rest of the job was easy. And it turned out beautifully!
1. Junior and Senior hard at work; 2. How lovely! Don and Betty Draper would approve.
