DIY Week 6

The Trek to Home Depot

This Week:

This week Sarah, Conner, and I all set out to complete the task of picking what paint we will use for the room. Our only limitations were that it must not be lead based, which wasn't really a problem because there isn't much paint in the stores to buy today that is made of lead. So, we went out to Home Depot to find the perfect shade of blue to either match or change the wall color of the team room. We decided that we would want paint that has primer already built in and that we should get indoor/outdoor paint because the room is a portable, not an actual well-insulated room. We looked and looked at samples and decided that the two best brands would be Glidden and Behr. Behr seems to be less expensive but Glidden had better colors to choose from. Here are the paint swatches we chose: 

Next Week: 

Next week I plan to go to Home Depot and pick up the paint samples and test it out on the room. Connor and Sarah will both be gone over spring break and some parts of next week. So, its up to me to make some progress. After I get the paint samples I will probably measure the room and find out how much paint is needed. Ill purchase it and wait until they come back to do the painting. I will also be looking for cheap sofas we can buy, an area rug, and a company or call around to friends to see if anyone has a steam cleaner for the floor.
