It's Rustoleum Ultracover - and with the first brush stroke the paint flows thick and smooth - and the next stroke pulls the paint right back OFF the surface. It's been sanded; primed. Paint thoroughly stirred; proper temp. So I'm coating and recoating. Glad I got 2 quarts!
I'm doing some in-depth cleaning elsewhere, because with how busy I've been I believe it's been a couple years since I did a deep dive. I can see the dirt now, too. Makes a difference. I don't like dust; I sneeze a lot. And I like being able to see out my windows. The next decorating project would entail replacing my beach sectional sofa... it's going on 20 years old. Still comfy, but worn leather. I have some things picked out but they don't exist in my local showroom... because a sit test is required with B and me.
While decluttering my oak hutch, I pulled out some very good rosemaling pieces that I've toted around different places I've lived. I think they'll really pop off the khaki mudroom wall paint. Now I just need hangers. I'm going to look at another metal cabinet for the room beyond the entrance. We're always looking for more storage. And next month's organization project gets me into the garage and the office (which can double as another guest room).
Looks the gov insurance has approved the surgery to replace B's pain pump - now just waiting on surgeon to schedule. The recovery time is about a month. So B could be back in the next few weeks... for at least 2-3 months.
I did order some seeds finally; and might still order some more herbs... but I'm definitely cutting back on planting this year. And shifting to things like ground cover, shrubs, fruit.
