Peony, I think Polo and I are Type 1.5 painters. I actually have never picked up a paint brush because I am always busy keeping a toddler from sticking his foot into the paint can. My husband would very much like to be a Type 1 painter, but time restraints make it so you have to cut corners whenever possible remember he works 14 hours a day and has to paint when it is least likely a toddler will stick his foot in a paint can. The only time he paints is late at night to very early in the morning.
\nWe are also in the process of painting our kitchen, and well, the whole house. The inside if the house is off white with aqua blue trim. Hate it. apparently the Amish are only allowed to use colors found in nature, and aqua is the most colorful of those colors, so that is what they used for the trim. So he had to wash walls (they are quite sooty), prime it, cover holes, you know the routine. I will say I am always amazed how a nice a fresh coat of paint can make something look.
\nWe also just bought a new stove. The Amish use something called a Perfection Cookstove <\/a> which is kerosene fueled, portable and expensive for us, especially since it has no oven. We bought a very simple propane gas range, but had to do a bit of searching to find one with pilots as opposed to an electric ignition. I seem to remember all gas ranges having pilots. Maybe that is the old ones?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
