Renovation Progress II

I primed the whole room and then decided to go over the top half with a second coat since I would be painting that part white.

We used a chalk line to get a nice straight level line on the walls. I had never used one before but it was very easy!

After covering the chalk line with painters tape I got the tinted primer on the bottom part of the wall.

I had read that getting a good even coat with red paint was not easy but I had no idea what I was in for! The first coat ended up looking like a kid just threw paint everywhere! You can see every brush stroke and every place I set the roller on the wall.

The second coat got a little better but now the corners and baseboards are a lot lighter than the rest of the walls (which are also still blotchy). After applying the third coat I have hope that eventually it will work out, even if it means I have to go buy some more paint!
