Painting Drywall

After the 100th coat of spackle and sanding, my father-in-law thought it was okay to do one coat of paint to see how the wall would take it. You need to be 99% sure that you're done spackling and sanding before painting; otherwise, it's pointless.

Glidden 5 gallon Ceiling Paint - $50 It's more cost effective to buy a large 5 gallon bucket than 1 gallon buckets ($18). You can also use ceiling paint as primer ($23) because it's cheaper and you're going to paint over it in color anyway. Behr sells paint made especially for unfinished dry wall such as this, but I think it's a gimmick.

The walls still need another coat of paint. These other areas still need more spackle, so we have to do that again before we can paint. Keep sending me *finish kitchen* vibes!
