Carmel master bedroom

Finished a master bedroom in Carmel on Tuesday. I prepped and applied two coats of eg-shell in a gray color on the walls only. I also painted part of the sunken ceiling.  The customer supplied the paint - Lowe's Valspar Signature Interior.


Steps:
  1. Removed electrical plates;
  2. Sanded walls;
  3. Washed walls;
  4. Taped out baseboards and door trim;
  5. Taped out main ceiling because it was a flat ceiling;
  6. Masked out floor with 12 inch paper and additional heavier paper;
  7. Applied first coat on walls - let dry;
  8. Applied first coat to sunken ceiling;
  9. Applied second coat on walls;
  10. Applied second coat on sunken ceiling;
  11. Pulled tape and masking paper;
  12. Moved furniture back in place; and
  13. Did touch-ups on ceiling, trim, and walls;
  14. Cleaned up. 
Challenges:
I also painted part of the sunken ceiling in order to break up the white. This was a challenge because I had to keep paint off the rest of the ceiling.
