I painted the baseboards with one coat of alkyd paint on Tuesday before I left for school. Friday when I was back home I cleaned up the grout around the tiles in this bathroom and the upstairs bathroom.
Sunday morning we then sanded the mud from the patches, cleaned the walls, and sprayed on oil-based texture. After letting the area air out and dry, we decided to use the little bit of paint remaining from the gallon of paint that we bought two or three weeks ago to paint the trim work.
N used this funky brush that we bought from Big Lots:
I then used a smaller brush to paint up to the ceiling while N painted over the patches. At this point the bathroom walls are ready for a final coat (or two) of yellow paint). The texture looks good, nothing else has bubbled, and we are thoroughly sick of the bathroom.
N will buy more paint this week, I will do another coat of alkyd on the baseboard, and we will continue on this next weekend.
