The Nightmare is Over (NF)

[Tarzan's Jane]

The challenge began Friday night and ended just over an hour or so ago. (This was my very first time painting...and like we women say after giving birth...NEVER AGAIN)

 

I made an absolute mess of the ceiling....I broke a glass vase, 2 long stem glass flowers and a ceramic candle holder.

 

But the biggest disappointment was when it was time to remove the painter's tape...the bleeping paint peeled...one wall is toast...and I figure that I will just go with Crown Moulding near the ceiling to hide the mess. A friend was 3 walls too late in suggesting an exacto (spelling) knife, which did help.

 

Anyhow...I am giving you a before and after little looksie....

 

Thanks to Workwear for the ongoing advice....and thanks to Roy for being my audience today...

Love the colour! Sorry to hear you had the problems!

the trick is to cut in the ceiling with as little paint as possible and remove the tape before the paint dries... I like the suedes also the knife trick works if you were too late in removing the tape.

 

consider it a lesson learnt

 

A simple fix though...

 

 

plastic off the walls and repaint the ceiling! LOL!..

 

If you were closer I am sure you would have alot of help!
