That's probably not a bad option Kitten. But the masking involved is horrendous......and I hate masking....lol
The wood is really sucking up the paint.....not to mention, it all has had to have a good rub with a stiff brush to remove cobwebs and 'forest debris'. It's really LONG overdue for this TLC, and I really don't mind doing it. (since Mr. Sawdust built his new shop, I painted it all nice and purdy)....and it made the sad state of the house really stand out and slap me in the face, that it wanted some nice paint too.
