Finishing the Job

 Would you like to know how many gallons of paint it takes to cover fresh drywall in a family room and office?  The answer is 11!  Primer, ceiling paint, and wall paint (Escape Gray by Sherwin Williams) totaled 11 gallons with very little left over.  And I've burned through a quart of trim paint already with work still left to do....
 Despite the frustrations and aches of painting a ceiling while pregnant, the space is looking good!  We laid vinyl plank flooring (Allure brand from Home Depot) right over the cement and it is working out great.  We didn't want carpet in case of water (it IS a basement) and this was a good solution for us.
 Don't mind my paint on the stairs--I'm still trying to figure out how to paint the stringers without ruining the carpet.  Suggestions welcome!
