Interior Paint Time

UPDATE: I have since repainted her a warmer yellowish color from Home Depot called Calm Air. I know, I know, us woman usually know what we want right away (insert sarcasm) but I noticed everyone who didn't have wood veneers were painting them white & off white so I decided I needed to be different! I did keep the benches the Cottage White, however to match the future moldings.
New color:


 See?! I work! Its not all Mike LOL. The primer is just soaking up my beautiful Cottage White which is the name of my color. I still want the trailer to look vintage/antique. Its not a new trailer and it won't be decorated modern so I didn't want too bright, eye popping white. This keeps it light & airy but still warm like many of the knitted pillows that will be used in the decorating. Coming up next...time for the molding for seams and corners to give it a finished look. Then we will replace windows & add window molding.



The white primer is from Home Depot and is also sandable. So when we filled the holes from the staples and nails then we primered the whole thing, sanded it, then repeated a couple more times. This made the walls very, very smooth with no blemishes. (Note: The wainscoting is going on the walls where wrap around table & benches will be, however in the kitchen I'm installing the tin for a backsplash so we just used the flat board for that, flat for the ceiling, and flat in area that will be in the closet.)
