Flaming Sword

Almost the entire past week has been spent prepping and painting the  god damn kitchen. Sugarmomma and I decided that my winter break project would be to paint. A year ago February we moved in and had asked the landlord about painting and she said as long as it can be painted over it’s fine, she’d reimburse us for the paint. We are finally getting to it. For the kitchen we chose Flaming Sword, which looks nothing like that in real life. Do you remember the crayola crayon color Brick Red? That’s what it reminds me of. I’m not sure if you can really paint over that but too late. Flaming sword is the biggest flaming bitch of a color to paint. No one ever really taught me how to paint. I just kind of learned by experience. I have never painted with a dark color and I of course didn’t do it right. I put on 3 coats and it still looked crappy, streaky, BRIGHT red instead of the deep color it was supposed to be. After a trip to the hardware store and a lesson in how to paint I put on the 4th coat. Thank god it looks much better because I was about to shit my pants with frustration and worry that it would never be ok ever again.
